looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product


From this task i have developed my skills in technical areas such as Photoshop and Indesign to create a professional finish to my work. I have also learnt that the audience plays a big part in the choices we make in constructing our magazines, it all depends on there choice of genre and there age. For the preliminary task i definitely didn’t carry out as much research or put as much thought into it as i did with my main task and i learnt this is key in producing an accurate production.

I put more planning into the layout, images used, and colours on my main task as i wanted to achieve more marks that i did on my other work. i sketched out a plan for my front cover so i knew what i was going to do when i got onto Indesign.

Other research i carried out was on two other magazine 'the rolling stone' and 'nme'. I took notice of what fonts, colours and images they used so i could take it into consideration for my magazine so it looked more realistic.

I do feel i have made a vast improvement from my preliminary task to my main one i feel i could have included more mastheads on my front cover. i also believe, that if i had enough time, i could layout my contents page in a much better way to gain more marks. As my magazine is aimed at both sex's i could have used more unisex images as i only included images of a female. However, overall i believe my unisex indi music magazine was quite a success when relating to the genre and target audience
