The document reflects on the learning and improvements from the preliminary task of creating a college magazine to the full product of a music magazine. Some key lessons learned were improving layout and design skills, learning how to effectively edit photographs in Photoshop, and having access to better photography equipment. The full product showed significant enhancements over the preliminary task, with a bolder, more eye-catching masthead design; a more appropriate and appealing cover image; a coherent color scheme; and professionally styled text. The contents page was also expanded to a double-page spread allowing for more photos and information.

QUESTION 7: LOOKING BACK AT YOUR PRELIMINARY TASK, WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE LEARNT IN THE PROGRESSION FROM IT TO THE FULL PRODUCT? By Tasnim Choudhury
Looking back at the Preliminary Task â—¦ I think I have a learned a lot since creating my college magazine. One of which would be that I learnt how to be more professional with layout and design which I was maybe lacking on when creating my college front cover and contents page. Also, I learned what colour schemes suit which font type or design the best, and I found out which colour scheme combinations looked best in magazine â—¦ I also, learnt how to edit photographs correctly using Photoshop, which is something I was struggling with when attempting to create the front cover and my contents page. â—¦ Another development I have made since the preliminary task is that this time I was able to use a professional DSLR camera in a professional photography studio in order to take most of the photographs for my magazine, whereas during the preliminary task I did not have such facilities, therefore the photgraphs taken for that task may not have turned out as good as they did when taking the pictures for my music magazine shoot.
Front Cover • Comparing the front covers, I think they have changed dramatically. Firstly, in regards to the masthead we can see that the masthead used for the college magazine is not very bold and does not stand out much whereas Bliss is bold, eye- catching and it matches with the colour scheme of my magazine. • Also, I think that the image I have used for my music magazine is much more appropriate than the one used for the college magazine. This is because the model is making proper eye contact and is posing in a way that is appealing.
Front Cover Con. ◦ I think that the colour scheme on my music magazine is much better than the one on the college magazine because there is an actual scheme and there is no mix of different colours. However, on the college magazine there seems to be different colour everywhere on the magazine. ◦ Also, the headlines on the front cover are written in a very unprofessional font which isn’t very appealing even to teenagers and some of the writing is also a little faded which makes it hard to read, whereas the one on my music magazine on my music magazine everything is in a professional looking font and is nice and bold ensuring that many people can see it.
Contents Page • The main difference that you can see here is the page difference where the college magazine contents is only one page and the music magazine is a double page. I decided to do this because it allowed me to put much more information on the contents page and it allowed me to make it look much more professional. • Also, the double page allowed me to put more pictures whereas in the college magazine I could only fit one. The more pictures I could add, the more information and detail could be given.
