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

 

 

 

 

Mastheads

On my student magazine there’s a student mag banner and an LSC logo this confuses my audience as it seems my magazine has two different mastheads which makes it unclear. However on my other magazine I’ve worked on this and have made a clear distinct masthead.  On my hip hop magazine I’ve improved the use of colours which relates to my target audience where as on my student mag I just colours that went well together and didn’t think about the audience.

Photography

During the course of my prelim task I used I simple digital camera and took pictures based on the criteria. But when doing the main task we were allowed to go far and beyond, we were also given a camera used in the professional industry of photography so I used my case studies and other magazines as examples to take my pictures for my magazine. The Main image of my student mag is very low quality and basically has no purpose, there is no eye contact with the reader and a weak posture within the modal however with my hip hop magazine there eye contact which establishes a relationship with the audience, clothing which appeals to the audience, make up and hair done and lastly the posture of the models is correct.

Colour scheme

Regarding the colour scheme I look at magazines related to hip hop and all magazines involved colours such as red, black and white which interoperate that these colours represent hip hop so I used this as template for my magazine. My student mag was pretty much random colours selected that worked well together as I stated earlier.

Contents page

These different contents pages obviously shows how my skills with InDesign have improved a lot as my hip hop magazines contents page is basically just a very big improvement from my stud mag contents page. My student mag contents page is simple, basic and easily read my hip hop magazine also follows this but I’ve added elements related to my target audience and musical genre. I’ve made certain things like the title ’the contents’ and headers bigger and bolder simply to make them more visible. I kept the simple and basic theme but also change the way the use of images our teacher stated we needed more than one picture on our contents page, so I used three different pictures one containing a different location and merged them all into one picture but added a little creativity to it which turned out very well.
