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

Looking back at the task I have defiantly made an improvement from the first time I made a magazine. My standards in quality to detail I feel has risen dramatically; this is because I have had more experience working with the programs and have an improved understanding of the task. My ability of working with computers has had a big impact to my performance; I can work much faster when doing tasks for the second time around as I have demonstrated and have more time to perfect parts of my work.

As you can see the main image in the first magazine isn’t even edited, nor taken in focus. The masthead is all done in words giving it a shabby look; the colour doesn’t fit the genre of magazine which is a school/ college magazine.

However my final production has been composed in Microsoft publisher, in have got manipulated images, a professional looking masthead that has been made in fireworks, a colour scheme that matches the genre of rock through the connotations, a barcode, price tag, high and low banner.

In general the final production is better than the other because throughout the year I have studied magazine in a deeper depth and have applied professional concepts to recreate a music magazine out of the best of my ability.
