1. Looking back on your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the
progression from it to the full product?
I feel that my skills of photography have developed a lot
better, the photographs I have taken for my final pages
were taken in a studio which made me able to have
better lighting equipment. My knowledge of the
Guttenberg design principle and product research has
helped me to lay out my pages more professionally
which made the pages more successful. My skills on
Photoshop have also helped me to be able make the
text seem stronger and bolder, on the preliminary task
the text looks as if it has just been placed simplistically
on the page whereas the text on the final front cover has
had a lot more thought put into it and is a lot more
professional. The title on my final cover is a lot stronger
than the preliminary task as it is bolder and stands out
more. I think the layout of my contents page is more
simplistic than the preliminary task, this is because of
market and product research I have identified that my
audience don’t like to be over whelmed with text and
images, and they like an equal amount of both. I have
also been able to identify key conventions and
stereotypes of the rap music genre which has allowed
me to communicate well with my target audience.
