Reflection on pre lim task

in my prelim task i created a front cover and content page for a school magazine i think that i caught on to adobe photoshop quite quick because i found it quite hard at first i couldn't do some of the skills like the magic wand, and being able to insert other pictures from different photoshop documents but very quickly clicked on, i sill have lots of skills to learn, i also think i am good at taking out the background and
i found i struggled with the layout on the pages and couldn't seen to get right and it didn't look right. i managed with my time ok! doing the front cover and content page,not that good but i did everything before the deadlines.
 At editing on photo shop i am ok considering the first time i used it was making the magazine,i can only do the basic things.I think i sorted the shot out and composted it well, the miss en scene was ok because it was a school magazine their uniform was a suitable costume and the prop which was a drama mask was a good idea because it shows that it is a school too, the location was just a plain white wall and  was very easy to take it out.
