Final Preliminary Contents Page

Question 7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

After become much more comfortable with the software I was using and researching alot of style models, My second attempt at creating a magazine was much more professional. We can see this through comparing the contents page of my Preliminary task magazine and my final music magazine. 


Here we can see that almost every aspect of my music magazine looks more professional than my preliminary task. 

Regarding my Contents page; the text is much smaller, there is more information, and the overall formation is better. These are only a few improvements that all go towards making my magazine look as professional as possible.

My front cover has greatly improved. It's quite hard to compare side to side as both magazines have different purposes, one being a rock orientated music magazine, the other being a school magazine. Even with there differences it's clear that my music magazine is much more professional.

 I have learnt how to make these professional changes by researching magazines such as 'Kerrang' and 'Rock' sound and have incorporated some of their aspects into my magazine. 

Question 6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing your product?

I used an Apple Mac to create most of my product. This was something I had never used before but I am now confident I could use it again after spending so long working on it. As for editing programs, we mainly used Adobe Photo Shop which I had had previous experience with in my preliminary task as well as other previous use, this meant I was quite familiar with the software, yet I can still say I have learnt a lot more about the program throughout creating my magazine and will be confident using Photo Shop in the future. 

Some websites I had never used before this task are Prezzi, Slideshare and the program garageband. Since some of these questions are answered with use of these three programs it's clear that i am now have some knowledge on these applications and would use them again.
