C7 Front Cover

Not the best picture, but this is my front cover of my music magazine MUSE so far. I have spent a lot of time researching and planning and have finally created a draft of my front cover. I have now decided to stop, take a break and return to research. I think that taking a short break and then returning to my work will allow me to take a fresh look on it, therefore being able to make further improvements that now I may be unable to see. I am proud of the piece I have made but it hasn't been easy. I have learnt lots of new skills but unfortunatly most of these have been learnt the hard way. Even after watching many helpful tutorials, I am still learning the creativity of photoshop via the application of trial and error. I seem to have more error than anything else but it has lead to various success in the end. I have also begun the task of making my contents page which I am pleased to say is coming along a little more successfully now I have built the confidence with photoshop! My life has suddenly changed - I seem to eat breath and sleep photoshop but I can see the difference between my work and it is definately proving worth while. Even when the task is finished I think that I will not give up with using photoshop. The skills I have learnt and the sheer professionalism of the techniques and effects availiable are too valuable to never use again. I would like to continue my usage and develop my knowledge further. This task has definately been an eye opener to a new technological world.

I will upload a picture of the first draft of my contents page as soon as it is completed! :)
