Looking back at your preliminary, what do you feel you have learnt

from it to the full product?

MAIN TASKPRELIMINARY TASK

The bottom left of my page on preliminary has been greatly focused, as my music magazine does too but it has much more of a full appearance compared to my preliminary

• My skills on Photoshop have improved a great deal, purely because I managed my time more efficiently which enabled me to spend time on the processes which needed attention to detail. I feel that I did not spend a great deal of time taking a variety of photo’s which would be most suitable for the front cover whereas it took a longer period of time to find the ‘perfect’ image to satisfy my target audience on my music based magazine. Not only have I improved on the physical photoshoot process, but the manipulation of the photos on Photoshop with editing the photos to the best of my ability and creativity.

• My ideas have stemmed from my preliminary task, as it was a school based magazine, I could not express myself in ways I could when creating the music based magazine as it showed much more representation to a specific genre, theme and house style.

• I felt that my target audience research was good for my preliminary task, whereas it was much more specific and detailed when creating my music magazine, as it focused on a specific set of people and gender.

• Another key area was my mast head on my preliminary magazine, it did not really grab my attention’s audience as it could have as I felt I over used the bevel and emboss effect which made it less out of focused. My main task shows a large, eye catching font which is what is expected!
