Q7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product (your music magazine)?

This was my preliminary task of a sixth form magazine. My audience feedback of this task was mainly about the quality of my image, and to follow more of the key conventions for the magazine like eyecontact and the 'Sweet spot'. The feedback of this magazine, allowed me to develop my skills, therefore enabling me to create a more successful music magazine. I also learnt whilst completing the preliminary task how time consuming it was, helping me to manage my time better for my music magazine and to plan personal deadlines to keep up to date.

I then created my first draft of my music magazine, and gained more feedback on how to improve it. They commented on the plain white gaps, and discussed how I could fill them in and to possibly add colour to the background. Furthermore, they discussed the fonts I had used inside my magazie and said I should incorporate it onto the front cover to create a recogniseable house style. They also discussed the coloured writing on the black background and that it was difficult to read, and that the Masthead needed to be behind my artists head to make her the main focus.

Here is the image of my final magazine, with all the alterations which were recommended.
