5. WHATWASTHE PURPOSE OFTHETASK?
This task was partially useful for my coursework as I had to create a magazine
double page spread of my own.Through this task I learnt what conventions must
be used to appeal to readers, as well as those which can be challenged to make
the magazine unique.With this new information I feel I can make changes to the
magazine in order to achieve a more professional overall look.
