The author reflects on improvements made from a preliminary task to the final product. For the preliminary front page, there was too much blank space and an unconventional landscape photo. The preliminary contents page also had too much blank space and randomly placed text boxes that looked messy. For the final piece, the author ensured these mistakes were not repeated to create a more professional look that adhered to magazine conventions.

2. Front Page
My preliminary task has
lots of blank space and
I used a landscape
picture. These things,
amongst others are not
conventional and upon
reflection make the
front cover appear
unprofessional. I
ensured that for my
final piece that I did
not make these
mistakes

With the first contents
page there is also lots
of blank space and the
text boxes appear to
have been placed
randomly on the page

look messy. I ensured

mistakes in my final
piece

In conclusion I have learnt how to
create a much more professional
piece of work by sticking to magazine
conventions
