Question 7 preliminary
- 1. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in this progression from it to the full product?
- 3. Preliminary • As this was my first try at creating a magazine I felt that I had many areas where I could of improved upon, these were areas such as the layout. I felt in my preliminary I was quite basic with my layout, this was something I altered later in my final production. I also changed the composition of my artist as I felt that that type of shot wasn’t reflecting my artist the way I wanted to. I also felt the font I used was very basic, this was something I later changed to use fonts found on font-space opposed to those on word. The colours I used are very dull and minimal in my preliminary so I wanted to try and add more colour to my final design. In the preliminary task I added thick text boxes, this was something I did not carry on into my final design as I felt it made the magazine look very cheap and like not much effort has gone in to it.
- 5. Final piece • In my final design I added a lot more colour than the preliminary this was because I discovered that my target audience o 16-18 are attracted to colour and are more likely to read something if it had more colour in. • The layout is a lot more different as I went for a medium shot rather then a profile shot, this allowed me to fit text around my artist and not be cutting off her hair. I also shrunk some things like barcode to make it look more room for other things. • The font I used is a lot different to the one in my preliminary as I decided to make it look like a magazine.
