Evaluation of Key Skills

In a very short period of time I have learnt and increased my creativity in Media more than I would have expected. I have previously posted a blog on "useful technology tips learnt in lesson" and since then i have learnt lots more. 
Previous to beginning AS Media, I had very little knowledge of Apple mac computers as I had never been one, however now I have learnt lots of short cuts and how to do screen grabs of specific areas on the monitor. I had also never had a Blog before and never understood the concept however i have gotten to grips with it very quickly and enjoy it. 
I also had very little knowledge on photography and had never taken into consideration the lighting or the background and was unaware of all the different shot types. the photography then led to using a memory card reader and extracting a memory card independently which are all skills I didnt have prior to Media.
Using a photo manipulating software such as Adobe for the first time has allowed me to prepare and build skills for when I create my music magazine cover. I learnt skills such as how to create shapes to present as pugs on a magazine cover. Also how to edit images from online so the background is erased using the magic rubber tool. 
I have also learnt the usefulness and importance of saving a file as a jpeg and not a pdf.

All these skills will help me to develop my creativity and independence for creating my music magazine cover.
