What I have learnt

The things that I have learnt in relation to skills, techniques, media concepts and terminology through completing the preliminary activity are...

- With media concepts, I have learnt what different things are, for example a masthead, I have shown my understanding of what a Masthead is when designing different mastheads for my magazine front cover. Another place that I have shown my understanding of media concepts is when I have used different sized fonts for different things so the more important things are in a bigger font.

- On my front cover and contents page I have also tried to use visual syntax so that it makes both pages easier to read.
- The media techniques that I have used are shown also in the front cover and the contents page, it is shown by the colour of them, the colour makes the pages stand out more. Another technique that I have used is by using sans-serif font to make the text clearer and readable for the user of the magazine.

I feel that I have gained alot of skills during this activity because at the start I would have not been able to use the program and I also would have not known what the media concepts are.
