Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in progression from it to the full product?
Throughout the process of creating my music magazine 'Leftfield' there is some clear differences between this and my preliminary task. It clearly shows the progress I have made throughout my pictures, magazine layout and time management.
When I begun my preliminary task, I didn't know much about positioning on a front cover, how to draw the audience in and what is suitable for my target audience. For this i used style models of other school magazines. However, I struggled to create a suitable front cover from the style models I had found as I struggled to pick out specific conventions; this was mostly due to not spending much time looking at the different style models and not picking out common conventions and creating ideas with the time I had. However, for the music magazine I spent more time focusing on the convention of my style models that suited my audience; as well as different style that contrasted the common conventions, allowing me to find different ways of presenting my work throughout my front cover, contents page and double page spread. I choses specific style models which helped me to achieve a specific style throughout my magazine and to ensure I found it easier to create a magazine that suited more conventions of a professional magazine. For this I spent more time researching into different areas; overall benefiting my work to make it more professional looking and to make sure it looked unrushed and worked upon.
As well as this, I mad sure I planned my work more and put more time management into it. I planned what date I wanted to finish each task and what I wanted to complete in each lesson and at home. This meant that I could spent time on one specific task as I knew I would have time to complete the others.
The biggest difference was my photographs, I had not planned out my pictures, location and costume of my model as much as I had for my music magazine. As well as this, I didn't spend much time getting varied amount of pictures to suit my magazine. I spent time thinking about what kind of stule I wanted and what I would have liked to portray throughout the school magazine for the preliminary task. However, for the music magazine I spent more time checking the location, lighting and other things that would contribute to making my picture look more professional. I took draft pictures to ensure I w able to create a suitable page with this, making a draft and making sure I planned enough time to take the pictures when it came to do so.
Overall my work is more planned out than the preliminary task. Making sure time management was key for my work and making sure it wasn't rushed.
