4. What I have learnt
The photography should be at a good clarity with colours
that will appeal to my target audience. The photography
should allow the anchorage text to stand out for the
reader.
The size of the typography within the anchorage text may
look different from how it is on the screen to how it is
printed out. In the preliminary task , the anchorage text
was too large, whereas my music magazine had
anchorage text similar to many music magazines as it had
typography of various sizes, in this way it is conventional.
There was no clear house style to my preliminary task, the
colours were mainly red, yellow, blue and green, although
when the typography was yellow and green, it was
difficult for the reader to read. The houses style colours in
my music magazine was blue, purple and yellow as it was
distinguished in the masthead and throughout the cover,
the house style made the magazine look conventional and
more organised.
