looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from

it to the full production

I made the masthead smaller than the main article here whereas of the final production I have made the masthead the biggest thing on the page to make it stand out and follow the conventions of a magazine

I have done the same thing for the price on both, I have a circle and the price in the middle of them both, except on the final production the price and the circle both fit into the house style, where as the preliminary cover does not

I have added this side bar, which I did not have on my preliminary cover, and this contains the date, exclusive content and volume number, where as I did not involve any of that in the preliminary cover

I have made the main coverline the biggest coverline which I have also done on the preliminary cover, and they both fit in with the house style of the magazine

I have a coverstar on each of the magazine front covers, but I have made the final product image look like it fits in with the house style more because I have made him look like he is a DJ on that one to go in a DJ magazine, whereas the image on the preliminary task doesn’t look like he is specifically in a college magazine because he has no props to show this

I have the website on both of the magazines, but the website on the final production is smaller to fit in with the codes and conventions of magazines

The fonts that I have used on this contents page are a lot simpler than the ones I used in the music magazine, also the text is a lot bigger and the title ‘contents’ is more noticeable than the title ‘This Week…’ on the prelim

Images are bigger, and edited, so they fit in with the magazine contents, unlike in my prelim where the images are just there and don’t fit in at all

I have added page numbers to the images on the final production, where as in the prelim they are just there with the title of the article on top of the image

I have added more things at the top to fill in the space, like the logo for the magazine and also the slogan of the magazine, and I have made these bigger so they fill in more space

I have not put page on the contents page numbers, I have only put the number which other magazines do, unlike on the prelim task, where I have put page before the numbers

Overall, I believe I have learnt a lot because overall I believe that the contents page and front cover both look better than the original because I learnt what the codes and conventions were so I was able to base my magazine off these facts, also I learned how to edit the photos so that they fitted in with my magazine contents page and the front cover, so overall I believe I have learned al lot and my final product has improved a lot on my prelim task
