In my opinion I have learnt a lot in my progression from the preliminary to the final task. To begin with, the masthead for my preliminary looked childish and unfitting to the magazines style whereas my final product had a title that not only fit the genre

but fit onto the product instead of just sitting on top of the pictures.

Also, I think that have learnt how to organise my features better as on my preliminary the taglines on the contents page didn't fit correctly with the background colours,

didn't have a fitting font and looked scruffy and unprofessional on the page whereas the cover for my final task fits together well, with an organised and structured layout,

the font is the correct colour to match the background and fits in well with the title font and the overall style of the magazine. The contents page of my preliminary also

looks very haphazardly thrown together, without any organisation or audience research concerning what they would prefer it to look like.

The contents page for my final piece is again organised, the colour scheme matches that of the front cover to show that the two are linked and that there has been

thought and consideration into what they should look like. This project had taught me to pay full attention into getting detailed audience research as this gives you a solid

base line of what your product should look like and what you should avoid, and failing to do this can leave your product looking unprofessional, untidy and nothing like what

the target audience have asked for.

My front covers are very different as the image on my first one looks barely related to the topics on the cover. Although there is someone in the school

uniform, she is clearly not paying attention and isn't taking part in any of the activities mentioned on the cover. The image on my final piece cover on the other hand, is much more involved. We can see that he is linked to the story

because not only does he have the band name over him but he is looking directly at the camera, showing that he is there for a specific purpose.

My contents pages also vary very strongly from each other. The contents page for my preliminary doesn't have any obvious structure. Although the pages

are numbered, none of the issues match the front and there is not real like to any of the images on either of the pages. My final piece contents page is the opposite of this as you can clearly see that Magdalena is linked with not only

a piece but an important one as she is the only image. Also, my pages are separated into different sections of interest to make it easier for the reader.
