- 1. Evaluation Overall I think my preliminary task went well and I created a college magazine that met the target audience that was meant to be met and gave them what they said they were looking for in a college magazine. I based the magazine on the results I got from my survey where I asked a series of questions and got answers from people within the ages of 16-19. By doing this it allowed to create a magazine made solely for them. I think that this task went well and worked as a foundation for creating my music magazine. I managed to create what I think was a normal and good magazine for college students; I tried to reach the target audience of young students and including topics that they would be interested in. I learnt how to do things to appeal to the audience which is the most important thing in magazines as if the audience isn’t reached then the magazine won’t sell. I think the task gave me an idea of what to include in magazines and how to lay them out to work as well as they can. It helps to do a preliminary task to get the feel of making a magazine. If I was to do this task again I would probably make the front cover better and have a better colour scheme. Overall I think that this task went well and provided me with a good base to be able to start the next part of the coursework.
