The document compares the author's preliminary and final magazine covers. For the final cover, the author used professional photography equipment which improved photo quality. They also used a medium shot of the cover model to allow for better posing. Additionally, the final cover included more organized cover lines placed in order to look more professional, and a contents page with more information and images to showcase the magazine's focus on new artists.

2. It is clear that I have made great progress when looking back at
my front cover of my preliminary task and comparing it to my
final product. It’s quite obvious that I have understood how to
use Photoshop much better as it is shown through simple
conventions such as the masthead, placement of cover lines,
colour schemes etc.

3.  Photography
For my preliminary task I used my iPhone 5 to take my cover
image which was simplistic. However, I developed this for my
final product as I used a professional Nikon D7000 dslr camera.
This included a trinity flash kit against a white backdrop in a
photography studio. This increased the quality of my photos
and made the photography highly professional compared to my
preliminary task. In addition for my preliminary task I used a
medium-close up shot for my cover star whereas I used a
medium shot for my final product as it shows the audience
more of the cover star and allows the model to pose better,
giving me a better photo.

4.  Cover lines
I have used more cover lines in my final product compared to
my preliminary task. This makes my magazine looks more
professional it looks as it looks like there is a lot of topics to
read about in the magazine. Moreover, the placement of
coverlines has improved as I feel that for my preliminary task it
looks as though my cover lines have been scattered around
whereas for my final product it has been placed in an organised
order in order to make the magazine look more professional.

5.  Contents
To conclude, my contents page has had further development as
it includes more information to show that there is a lot going
on in the magazine just as my cover lines on the front cover. In
addition, the images also emphasise the fact that my
magazines unique selling point, which is that the magazine
focuses on new artists so I have included images of new artists.
Finally I have added the label of my magazine under the
contents for my final product to make the audience aware of
the brand of my final product.
