This document is a student's evaluation of their preliminary task to design the cover and contents page of a college magazine as part of their media studies course. The student summarizes how their magazine cover design uses conventions like mastheads, cover lines and images while challenging conventions through unique sell lines and a close-up student image. For the contents page, the student discusses similarities like subheadings but also differences like using multiple images and captions. The student also reflects on what they learned about technologies like Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and digital cameras from completing the preliminary task and how it will inform their main task.
