Evaluation, Question 7

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

Looking from my prelim task to my final pieces, there's an immediate difference- especially regarding contents and quality. I think that the one in which you can see the most development from is the contents page as the prelim contents page was extremely basic.
   When creating the cover page and contents page for the prelim task, I didn't look at existing products nor did I look at codes and conventions in depth. I think this is the reason to why it lacked enough structure, contents and creativity.  However, when looking at codes and conventions within magazines and looking at many existing products, my ideas broadened and I was able to structure and plan how I wanted it to look better- my knowledge widened and I knew more to what I had to do to create successful magazine pieces.

Prelim Task

Final Piece

The cover on the left is my prelim task- cover page. I processed this photo, making it black and white but through the research I've done, I saw that successful covers use colour, not black and white.

  The masthead is separated from the magazine. I think that it would look better as a whole if it was on the bricks, going behind the boys head.

   I feel as if there's many things on this magazine cover that could be improved and overall, it doesn't look professional nor successful.

The cover on the right is my final piece- cover page. I feel since my prelim task, my skills have developed and broadened. I feel like there's a better structure on this piece and the ideas/contents is better. I think that the masthead improved due to it now standing out a lot better.

Cover Page

Prelim Task

On the left is my prelim task, contents page. Although the colours go well together, the page is too extreme basic. I think that the lines underneath the text and around the photos look amateur.
