Question 7-

Progress From

Preliminary Task

Typography

In the preliminary task I chose a very bold because it would be a lot easier for the person who is reading the magazine to see. The font is all in caps to make it stand out. The fonts that I used meant that the reader would be intrigued into reading what my magazine was about, this is actually conventional to the rap genre. In comparison to the magazine I have recently completed, all the fonts in the pages are extremely conventional to the rap genre and I can see the difference in quality of the cover lines as there isn’t any on my first task.

Layout

The layout I have chosen is very spacious so the reader can understand what is going on in the magazine, this is conventional to my genre, but compared to my finished magazine pages the preliminary task looks rather plain and boring compared to my magazine that I have recently finished. Also the layout of my actual magazine looks a lot more ordered and there isn’t big chunks of text on the front cover which is also an improvement from the preliminary task.

Images

You can tell the difference in quality of the camera work between the preliminary task to the finished pieces in the way that they use different types of shots, compared to the shot in the preliminary task, the only thing is in the preliminary task the image is spaced lovely and it looks conventional to the rap genre, It also looks more like the finished pieces. The images on the actual finished pieces look in better quality than the preliminary task, one reason is that I used a phone and not a proper camera from the media class and the other was that I didn’t really know what shots were conventional, so my knowledge has grew.

Colour

The colour I chose for the fonts was black because the image was fairly bright, so it helped the title to stand out because it was on a white background. I have used the same sort of colours in my actual magazine, this shows that I have used a lot of the ideas I have thought of have been used in my real magazine. I have made some improvements though like I have added some colours in such as red to my actual magazine. The main thing I have improved on some things from the preliminary task such as my knowledge in colours has increased.

Mode of address

I have learned a lot from the preliminary task about mode of address because I have changed the type of image because in the preliminary task the Image really didn’t look conventional so I and to change the type of dress the artist in my image was going to wear because I wanted them to look like more of a bad boy compared to my preliminary task picture, the finished images are so much better than the preliminary task. Also the pull quotes I have increased my knowledge on as well, as I now know how to make the pull quotes sound more like real magazine pull quotes, this is another thing that I have improved on.
