question 7: looking back at your preliminary task, what do you think you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

looking at my college magazine to my final music magazine front cover there are major differences and improvements. for example i had learnt how to use photo shop better, by using the polygon lasso tool instead of the magic wand tool. ect. from my research i have learnt the different conventions of music magazines. (plugs, bold short mastheads, etc) my preliminary task is a very boring front cover, this would not sell in a shop, where as my final product would because it looks like the real thing.

my final product has been taken under profession lightning, where as my preliminary task was taken in college, this shows that my preliminary task was rushed and not enough effort was put into it, where as my final product was planned where/when/what.

more feature stories were added to my final task to make it look more professional and to link in with the indie theme. i made sure they linked in with the indie theme by researching other indie magazines such as NME and Q magazine to influence my product.
