Above is my first ancillary task. This is the first ancillary task out of the two and I am very pleased with how it has come out. Below is my draft, which you can see isn't that different to my final piece. I needed the images to stand out more on my final piece therefore I applied a drop shadow to do this. Which I have shown below how I created this effect.

From creating the four pages of my regional magazine, I have been able to learn new skills from when I created part of a magazine last year. While creating my magazine, I have been able to learn more about using software Photoshop to edit photos and create my magazine on.  From using Photoshop, I have been able to include more professional looking images and minus parts like advertising for brands, shops etc and sometimes make the images either lighter or darker. I have also learnt how to do quick little tricks to be able to do something quicker. Also, I have taught myself how to make my photos blend in with other images. Also, I have been able to put drop shadows on my shapes and images to be able to make them stand out. Overall, I am very happy with my final magazine pages and really like the overall look that I have portrayed.
