Reflection on the my AS 'Disco' work

When creating my AS media product, I faced difficulties and challenges which I had to overcome such as using technology I had never used before like the Apple mac computers. I quickly picked up on how to work these and adapted to the differences macs had to a normal PC, I felt like using this new technology went really well for me, which was extremely helpful during my Blog work where a lot of the work I produced was created using a mac. 

Another aspect of my AS media product which I thought went well for me was my photographs for my contents and double page spread. I think these went well because I pre planned the Photo-shoots meaning I had an idea of how I wanted the images to turn out. The images were a success and I felt that was due to my planning, they also went well for me because my previous photo-shoots had not gone as smoothly meaning I learnt from my mistakes and knew how to improve the photographs. 

There are a few things I think I could of done to improve my magazine, one of them being my front cover image. My front cover image was not exactly how I wanted it to be and after over three different photoshoots and time ticking away, I had to choose a photograph which I was not 100% happy with. I would of liked to re-do the photograph again if I had more time, I didn't think the quality of the photo was of the best standards and the model looked a little like she was pulling a false smile. I would of liked the photograph to look a little more natural and happy on a whole.
