Time management was improved from the preliminary to the final task. For the preliminary task, arranging photo shoots was difficult due to differing schedules with models, but rearranging solved this issue. More elements like shots, color schemes, lighting, and composition had to be considered for the target audience in the final task. The final products showed more detailed layouts and pictures compared to the preliminary products, which used basic fonts that made the preliminary products seem unprofessional. Font research was done and a font analysis created to select fonts representing the magazine's genre and conventions, taking inspiration from professional magazines like XXL and Vibe that target a similar audience.

task, what do you feel you have
learnt in the progression from it to
the full product?

2. Time Management
• I think that I managed my time a lot more efficiently for my main task than
my preliminary task. This was mainly because for my main task I had more
things to think about due to adhering to my target audience.
• I had to think about much more elements to think about for example, the
shot I was going to use, color scheme, props, lighting, composition of my
model and the genre of my magazine.
• Time management for my preliminary task was a minor problem. The
models intended to be used for my photo shoots originally were unable to
fulfill this as our free time in and outside college differed greatly. I
overcame this by rearranging my models who were free when I was which
allowed me to carry on with the production of my products.
• For the production of my coursework, I made sure beforehand the models
I assigned could fulfill my requests which made my time management
easier.

5. Construction
• My finals products in comparison to my preliminary
products are much more in detailed in terms of layout and
pictures. Looking at the fonts I used for my preliminary
task, they seem really basic and plain which made the
whole product unprofessional. However, on my final
product I used fonts which met my conventions of my
magazine, I also researched into fonts to use. I created a
detailed analysis outlining the strengths and weaknesses of
specific fonts which I felt represented the forms and
conventions. I took inspirations from XXL and Vibe when
researching fonts for my own magazine I did this to help
make my magazine fit the forms and conventions of these
professional magazines as my magazine intends to have a
similar target audience.
