Looking back at the preliminary and final products, the document discusses how the final product showed more professional development in several key areas. The final product had a more professional masthead and tagline, the main title was prominently displayed, empty space was filled better with attractive design elements, captions were easier to read, and the overall layout was clearer and easier to navigate. The progression showed improvement in developing a more polished house style and design.
