The document compares the student's preliminary task of creating a school magazine to their final outcome of creating a music magazine. For the final outcome, the student used conventions of a typical music magazine, which made it look more professional and appealing to the target audience. The contents page of the final magazine was also improved by making the writing clearer and images better organized. Overall, the student felt their final music magazine was much more polished and professional compared to the preliminary school magazine.

1. QUESTION 7:
LOOKING BACK AT YOUR PRELIMINARY
TASK, WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE
LEARNT IN THE PROGRESSION FROM IT TO
THE FULL PRODUCT?

2. Preliminary task Final outcome
Looking back at my preliminary task
you can clearly see an improvement.
My final outcome is far more
professional looking and eye-catching
then the school magazine that I
created.
I think the outcome of my preliminary
task wasn’t very good due to the
layout of the cover lines and the bland
title, whereas my final outcome for my
music magazine looks far better
because it follows the conventions of a
typical music magazine. This means it
looks more professional and my target
audience will be more likely to buy it.

3. Preliminary task Final outcomeComparing the contents page of my
preliminary task to my final outcome
also shows a big improvement in my
opinion.
The contents page I created for my
preliminary task is far too busy and
uses too many images. The writing is
also hard to see and the images are
spaced out in a weird layout.
However on my final outcome you
can see all of the writing clearly and
all of the writing has it’s own section.
The images are also laid out neatly
and have the page numbers next to
them so that readers know where to
find the page with more info on the
images. This is good because readers
are able to navigate efficiently.
Overall my final outcome looks far
more professional then my preliminary
task.

4. Overall I think the music magazine I have created fits the brief and is a
successful magazine that will get the attention of my target audience.
The research I have done has definitely helped me create my magazine
and has made me more aware of the techniques used to get peoples
attention and make them want to buy a product. I think the best page
of my magazine is my front cover because of the cool layout and
tempting cover lines!
