In the progression from the preliminary task to the full product, the student learned how to create a more professional-looking magazine. For the preliminary magazine, the front cover lacked a memorable model, but for the full product the student included an eye-catching model and edited the image more carefully. The student also familiarized themselves more with magazine conventions like adding photography and stories to the contents page to make it more appealing, taking influence from NME. Overall, the student feels they developed skills in creating a magazine that resembles professional publications like NME or Vibe, rather than the preliminary task which resembled a basic school magazine.
