1. Looking back to your preliminary
task, what do you feel that you have
learnt in the progression from it to
the full product?
Andrew Adegasoye

2. Coventions
I have learnt that the front cover model must be of greater focus to the
magazine , the preliminary task features a long shot whereas the music
magazine shows a mid shot. It is a general convention of a magazine for the
shot to be a mid shot at least if not a close up
I have positioned my sell
lines better, the music
magazine doesn't cover
the artist like the music
mag does
I have learnt to
keep the
masthead of this
type in the top
left corner
I have also learnt to tailor
the design of my
magazine according to
the genre.

3. I have learnt to position items on my contents page better as I
became more aware of the conventions used in a music
Contents magazine for example…
The column
positioning
of the
contents
Images
linking to
stories
Clearer page
numbers
More images

4. Summary of journey
 I have learnt and become aware of the various aspects required to construct
a magazine . For example , research & planning, analysis , drafting and re
drafting. The school magazine prepared me initially for what it would be
like to construct the real thing.
 Constructing the magazine has allowed me to understand greater the
workload I must manage when creating a magazine, especially in a time
pressured environment. I have learnt the conventions of a magazine and I
have been able to practically apply knowledge of these conventions to a
real project.
