AS reflection on exam and coursework

Overall I think that the media exam went better than I expected it to be. I was anticipating the music industry exam question to be more difficult and think I could have prepared more for that in terms of learning more examples. I was pleased with the analysis question though and think I revised the terms well such as edits and was relieved that we got the topic of 'gender' to focus on.
In terms of the coursework I really enjoyed the task of creating a magazine cover and although I felt that the task of completing the blog was rushed at the end I was happy with my production piece and with the programs I have used (photoshop). My skills of using this computer program improved dramatically during this task as I had never used the program before so had to learn it from scratch. I can therefore use it in the future which I will find hugely beneficial for subjects like art and editing the photos :).
