Prelim Front Cover

Evaluation Question 7

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Here i am going to compare both products from my preliminary task to my final magazine now.

Preliminary task:                                             

 When comparing both pieces of work i have completed it is obvious that a lot has improves, this is because as time went on i became comfortable using PhotoShop and was able to experiment with a lot of new things.

The front covers have changed a lot, there is now much more detail on my music magazine, this is because i learnt from style models, in order to attract your target audience you have to make it into something they would want to buy.

The contents pages are very different because now it is full of the right information, it has a lot of colour and is no space left.

Even though my preliminary task did not include a double page spread, my 'JUICY!' double page spread fits into my pop magazine.

Although one is a magazine advertising a school, and the other is a music magazine, they both need to have the same conventions, just like any other magazine.

Things like the size of writing and text has also changed in my newest product, this is because i came to understand that it needed to be clear in order for my audience to understand.

Final piece:  

Evaluation Question 6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? 

When making my magazine, i learnt how to use new technologies in the process.

Camera

When taking my pictures for my front cover, contents page and double page spread i had to make myself familiar with the Canon camera i used in order to get the right quality pictures. I had to learn new techniques such as the rule of thirds, also before taking my pictures, it was important to take practice shots, this helped me get the right angle i needed and also the right lighting.





Computer

When making and putting together my magazine, i used an apple mac, i had to learn how to use things such as Photoshop and InDesign. In order to put my product together, i had to become familiar with the tools i was going to need to learn. One important reason it was important to create my magazine on this computer is because Photoshop was installed, which had the right tools i would need.






Programmes   
Photoshop is what i used the most, i had to experiment with the tools on this, this is what i created my full magazine on, i done this because it gives it a professional finishing look that i needed. Before i used this my knowledge wasn't great, i spent time getting use to photoshop and the different ways to use it. Before creating my media product, i had not used Photoshop before, but i quickly started to understand.
