From the preliminary task to the full music magazine product, the author feels they have progressed in making magazines look more professional. The preliminary magazine looked more amateur compared to the music magazine, which looks like it could be on a newsagent shelf between magazines like NME and Q. The author developed their skills by using different text sizes and colors, taking more risks, and putting more time and care into the music magazine task compared to the school magazine. The author's contents pages for the music magazine also look much more professional than for the preliminary task, showing they put more effort into making it as realistic as possible for grading.
