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

Front covers

Even though the magazines have got a completely different genre and are about completely different topics there are some similarities and differences. These were changes being made from post design reviews and what people said when they saw the final product for the prelim task and they were changed to make my final music magazine look better. I made the mast head smaller in terms of one word rather that having three words dropping down from each other which took up a lot of space. This also meant that I had more room to have a cover line below it which left more room for the other cover lines at the bottom so I wasn’t covering the face of the artists. This mean that the audience can see the artists easy and see who will be focused on in the magazine.

There are more cover lines on my music magazine than there are on the student prelim task which is a convention that I have followed by having more than 5 cover lines. This gives off little hints towards the contents of the magazine which is better if you have more.

Date line/ issue number/ barcode and price are all on both front covers as they are a requirement for audiences so that they can buy the magazine and see when it was released if it is the latest release.

Contents PagesMy music magazine contents page has changed

a lot from my contents page for my student magazine. This was because I didn’t like the way that it finished at the end. I decided to have a colour fade back ground which worked better as it didn’t take the focus away from being able to read the contents list and look at the images. I have included a note from the editor as I believe that it is a nice touch as it’s a thank you message for having gone and purchased the magazine.
