1. 7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you
have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Since my preliminary task I have a greater knowledge of how
to use certain types of technology. I felt like in my preliminary task
I was learning and practicing how to use the technologies so once I
got to my main piece I knew clearly how to use it. Technologies I
used include Photoshop, professional cameras and Blogger.
In my preliminary task I didn’t take out much market research
from the public. However, this drove me to take out more for my
final product. Because of this, I now have a greater understanding
of what people want to see in music magazines, especially people
in my target audience. Also, because I had taken out front page and
inner page research, I had a good view of how other magazines, like
Kerrang, Rolling Stone and Q. My market research for Q especially
helped me produce my pages as it has a fairly similar target
audience and style to my magazine.
