Evaluation

Looking back at my preliminary task I feel that I have learnt a lot in the progression of my full product.

PhotographyIn my preliminary task I used a medium close up as this makes her stand out more and she is also looking straight at the camera. However in my full product i decide to use a medium long shot for my main image. This way we get to see more of what type of clothing he is wearing and the way that he is standing. This reveals more about the target audience of the magazine. From my preliminary task we can see that she is not wearing any specific clothing to do with the genre. From this I learnt that it is important to style the person in particular clothing to fit in with the genre of the magazine.

House style

From both tasks I think that there is a certain house style that is kept throughout. However I think that the house style throughout my preliminary task does not stand out straight away and the colour of the font is hard to see and read. In my final product you can instantly see the strong colour that stands out on the page and dominates the page. On both tasks however I have used three main colours for my house style and I learnt that from the preliminary task it is important to not have too many colours on the page and that just by having a few main house style colours makes the magazine look more professional.

Font

The fonts used are different in both products. I think the font I have used in my final product is a lot more shocking and stands out straight away. You can also get what type of genre it comes from. The font used in my preliminary task was much more subtle and didn't give much away about the genre it was also positioned in just a plain way at the top of the page. With my final product I decide that it would stand out more and look more interesting if it was slanted across the page.
