Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
FINISHED TASK FIRST TASK
CHALLENGING CONVENTIONS Not a professional photograph
No clear colour scheme
Image not cut out well; jagged edges and not a smooth line
Lack of cover lines
No clear sense of what the magazine’s about
Fonts do not match the type of magazine
Colour of lead in makes it hard to read against the image as the background
Orange colour seems out of place
HOW HAVE I IMPROVED?I feel that I have improved in many ways when making my magazine, for example, I was able to improve from my preliminary task by looking at other real magazines, and see what conventions they mainly follow, and which ones they break, as well as the layouts and colour schemes that attract the reader’s eyes first and foremost; and develop my magazine from there.
I also developed my magazine contents page, on the preliminary task, and could make it so that it showed the real style of magazine that I failed to get across in my other work. For example, I have included more photographs, both in the studio, and out. I made the text smaller and the headings and categories bolder. This allowed me to create an atmosphere within my magazine.
