The document discusses the creator's experience designing magazines for different tasks. For the main task magazine, the creator incorporated audience feedback to improve the original cover design. The creator found PowerPoint and digital cameras/Photoshop easy to use, but sometimes images were unsuitable. InDesign allowed for a more professional look than other programs like Publisher, though the creator did not prefer it. For the main task, the creator did more in-depth research, used more pictures, and had a better industry understanding, allowing a more professional magazine.

1. Question 5

2.  Mainly through use of language/mode of
address which is informal. The font as well
was not too serious, nor too in your face.
 According to “Find my Tribe”, townies like
holidays so I offered the chance to win a
weekend away with friends.
 After audience feedback I found that the
main issue was that I had made to original
cover too crowed so I removed three
pictures (that were then transferred to the
contents page).

3. Question 6

4.  My PowerPoint presentations look more
professional due to different slide
layouts and effects on the 2010 version.
 Digital cameras and Photoshop: as I do
photography, I was already confident
with cameras and Photoshop, as a result
however I sometimes tried to be artistic
which resulted in images unsuitable for
a magazine.
 InDesign: Would not be program of
choice as I think it is too overly
complicated and confusing but it did
allow to look more professional than if I
had used another programme like
Publisher.
 Blogger: as I only used to present work;
not a lot of problems experienced, but
this was because the website “Wix” was
difficult and temperamental when I was
using it during the preliminary task.
 Slideshare: easy to use, but often
wouldn’t show on blogger so some
reason (see right)

5. Question 7

7.  Did more in-depth research and
used more pictures, though less
variety.
 Found it easier because Preliminary
task was a much narrower topic.
 Had a better understanding of the
industry allowing for a more
processional looking magazine.
 Was slighter more confident in using
InDesign though still didn’t like it.

8.  Get more pictures for my cover and contents page
= done in main task
 Plan how to fill up the pages on my contents page
= done in main task
 Make sure that I meet deadlines = not achieved on
every occasion, however it did not hinder my
progress much if at all
 Go into more detail when researching cover and
contents pages = done in main task because it
was much easier as it was a broader topic.
