The document discusses what was learned from a preliminary magazine design task to the full product. Specifically: - The importance of justifying design decisions based on how it attracts the audience and fits genre conventions. - How to integrate different aspects like images, text, and design professionally without clutter. - Images add depth and impact overall design; photos with plain backgrounds avoid distraction. - The final product had more depth through analysis of other magazines and use of conventions. Font choice was also improved to fit the genre.

1. 7. Looking back at your preliminary
task, what do you feel you have learnt
in the progression from it to the full
product?

2. In the progression between doing the preliminary task, I have become more

models poses to what costumes they wear.
The main task I was able to provide an depth analysis on other magazines which enabled to build a

began to construct the magazine as it was important in all aspects of the
magazine to be able to fit together nicely and also, fit our genre of which is
why we downloaded other fonts. This allowed to find unique and fonts more
suited to magazine instead of using those that come on the software. The
final product of the main task contains more in a way of depth and
conventions whereas, the preliminary had very little in a way of text only a
mast head, a date line and a cover line. The text would not be very effective
when it came to attracting a potential readership whereas, the taglines, eye
catching cover-lines to enable to appeal to readers.

5. I learnt about the importance of the images chosen and where they are suitable to be placed on the magazine
also, the impact the photo has on the design and the effect it has on how it is brought everything together. The
reason the decision to use a photo with a plain background was to avoid any focus on any other than the
