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

My contents page for my preliminary production was very basic and looked a bit like front page. my teacher commented on my product saying it looks like a front magazine content page to get a better understanding of how a content page looks like I looked at codes and conventions of content pages from real magazines on the market. I made a list of the conventions so that i can follow them on my final music magazine . As a result the music magazine content page looks like a content page , thus avoiding any confusion to my target audience.

in my content page  there wasn't very good positioning in the overall composition. I used grids on my main task to split the sections of my magazine. This worked well and I could create a clean and easy to read contents page.

 During my main task I edited all of my images and made them link with my social class and genre. I did much more research on the background of the genre.

My preliminary task was very basic in terms of typography and images. I used the same basic font throughout my preliminary task. However in my main task I experimented with different fonts to make my page look much more attractive which appeals to my audience. 

Another main feature which differs the two productions is the use of images, I took basic images around college for the first task but in my main task I used image from different areas to appeal to my target audience and genre. i also trying different lighting to increase the quality of my images. 

In my first task I missed out generic features of music magazines such as bar-code, this created a very unprofessional touch to the magazine. So in adding small features like this, it enabled me to create a better and more professional look.
