1. LOOKING BACK ATYOUR PRELIMINARY TASK, WHAT DOYOU
FEELTHATYOU HAVE LEARNT INTHE PROGRESSION FROM IT
TOTHE FULL PRODUCT?

2. Masthead

3. By looking at my preliminary masthead I can see that I used a font and colour from publisher.The colour I decided to
use does not make the masthead look professional especially because there is a glow around the masthead. However
now looking at my final masthead I can see that I have made a vast improvement as the masthead now looks more
professional.The font that I have decided to use is also a lot more better.

4. Aim of the preliminary task
■ The aim of the preliminary task was to design a school magazine, in which I had to
make a front cover and a contents page.At first I began researching and looking at
past candidates work for inspiration. I had no set plan but I knew that it is
important that people are aware straight away that it is a school magazine when
they see the front cover.This is why I ensured that the student was in full school
uniform.

5. Aim of my main task
■ The aim for my main task was to create a music magazine of a genre o my choice. I
chose a genre that I am familiar with and that I like which is rap music. Likewise I
believe that it is important that people are aware genre the magazine is just by looking
at the front cover, so I made sure the model wore clothing such as Nike and that they
made the right facial expressions.

6. Front Cover

7. Looking back at my preliminary and looking at my final task I can see that I have made a
dramatic improvement.The front cover for my preliminary task was made on publisher and
the front cover for my final product was made on InDesign. By me using InDesign it has made
my final product look much more professional as it has more editing tools.
The biggest improvement that I have made was the layout of my magazine front cover. For
my preliminary task I did not think much about the layout of my work and my cover
lines seem to be all over the place. Although for my final magazine I don't have any masthead
I do have a headline and the whole look of the magazine look a lot more professional.The
overall look for my preliminary task was poorly executed and thevimage used is not
professional.

8. Contents Page

9. ■ For my preliminary I can see that I did have a colour scheme but the whole look of the contents page
looks very unprofessional and very plaine.There is too much white spacing.After researching more
about the conventions of a contents, I was able to improve my final contents page drastically.They
layout of my contents page is much more conventional and it is much more structured. I also made sure
I included thing in my final contents page which I failed to do so in my preliminary task such as, a date,
images, social media.
