Q7: looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

For my front cover there has been a dramatic difference in both magazines. Creating the school magazine gave me an understanding of how to use programs for my music magazine, it gave me some practice of how to use Indesign, photoshop ect. For my school magazine I also didn’t ask the target audience for what they wanted the magazine to look like. This meant that I was only limited to my ideas and what I preferred. However, for my music magazine I made a lot more research and what appealed to my target audience. I also took inspiration from other professional music magazines such as ‘Q magazine’. By doing this I was more clear and understanding on how to create a professional look and at a higher standard.

I have edited the front cover image to look a lot more professional in my music magazine compared to my school magazine which I didn’t edit. The quality of the photo also looks more HD in my music magazine. The text on the page is also more professional and has a lot more catchy information. Overall with the text on the front cover, the music magazine looks a lot more creative and interesting compared to my school magazine. The text on my school magazine looks a lot more boring then my other product. I have learnt to be a lot more creative with my music magazine then the School magazine, as well with the models used on the front cover.

I had a lot more time to work on my final magazine then my music magazine, giving me more time to edit and
