In my preliminary task I did not use guidelines to help me set out my work. However in my music magazine task I did. This reflects in my final products as it is set out in a way that is more a lot more presentable and makes it look more professional. I realised how important the guidelines are to use as they help the magazine to be symmetrical and helps the magazine conventions to be in proportion of one other. Without the guidelines on my preliminary task the audience can see it is not very professional. It shows that the products are disorganised which will put the target audience off purchasing the products.

The colours in my preliminary were quite dull and would not have fitted in with the pop genre I was doing for my music magazine. Colours are important to a product as it helps represent the genre. Brighter colours will stand out more to the audience and catch the readers eye more than if it were in black, white or grey. My final products used different purples and pinks. This then helped address my target audience as well. This shows that between the preliminary task and the final task my colour scheme changed and adapted for the audience.

In the preliminary task my knowledge was not as good about what the conventions were or where would be best to place them. For example, in my preliminary task there were no cover lines on the front cover whereas in my final task I had used cover lines and developed the convention by adding even more. Also the main image on the preliminary front cover is not facing the camera whereas the main image on Tune is. This is because I learnt about how I can engage the audience after the preliminary task. The masthead on my school front cover looked tacky as it was outlined in different colours. The masthead on my front cover looks more professional as it is simple and eye catching. I did not like the pull quote on the banner from my preliminary task, therefore I decided to not use it in my music magazine front cover. Also, some conventions that I had not included in my preliminary tasks were things such as: issue number, date and price. I included them in my final draft as it will give information that the reader may want to know. In my contents preliminary my page numbers were written out instead of in shapes.

The music magazine photos were taken with a high quality digital camera (Fujifilm FinePix S8200) which made the quality of the images much better and clearer.
For the school magazine products which was the preliminary task I used a smart phone camera (IPhone 6s).
On the preliminary task I used Izadean who is a boy. However, then on the final front cover I used Annie who is a girl as I felt it fitted more into the genre of pop.
For the preliminary task I planned to take photos of my friends at school on a certain date at a time me and then were both available. I could easily carry my phone round the school and take images. The background of the images were of the school. This is so the students reading it recognised where the images were. For my final task, I planned to take my camera round to my friends house and to take the photos against a plain background. This was so that I could easily remove the image away from he background without the image getting cropped.

In the preliminary task fonts used were not as good as the fonts in my final products. I managed to learn which fonts looked better with other fonts that were put together. In my preliminary task I only used fonts that were already downloaded onto the software Sketch. I used the same fonts throughout my work as it was apart of my house style. In my preliminary task I did not use the same fonts and there was not much of a house style. This shows that from my preliminary task to my final task I had learnt more about how text can fit in with house styles. From my preliminary task to the final task, I also learnt to use better sizes for all my fonts. In the preliminary tasks the range of font sizes were not that spread out and and they were not appropriate either. The text was either too big or too small.

For my preliminary task the software I used was Sketch.  In sketch I learnt how to create a certain sized page that I wanted, how to add images, shapes and text. I also used Sketch for mock ups on the final product before doing it on Photoshop so I had a rough idea how I was going to lay it all out. I also learnt to put a shadow on certain texts, images or shapes.
For the final products  I used Photoshop. This made the products look more professional. I learnt how to fade out images and make things look more transparent. In Photoshop I also put drop shadows on the products. I felt as if the drop shadows looked nicer on Photoshop compared to when using them on sketch. I also learnt on photoshop how to turn images around and fade the images out. This managed to infer more information to the reader about the artist.
