From my preliminary task, I have used a new feature of technology to create my product, which was photoshop, and this has taught me that it you can create better products and designs on this rather than using publisher. Also I have learned more about magazines in general and that the genre of the magazine affects the overall outcome of what the magazine looks like and what the content is about. Also i have learnt that planning is essential in creating a good product. I created three flat plans which consisted of planning my front cover, contents page and double page spread. These would help me create my product quicker as i would have already thought about the layout of my images and text.
Aswell as learning that planning my product was essential, i also learnt that researching other products was necessary as it allowed me to find examples of rock magazines which would give me hints on what is needed to be placed in my product.
Overall i think that i have made a vast improvement on my preliminary task as i now know more conventions for a magazine and these have been implicated into my product. Also planning ahead has allowed me to create and change certain things with great ease.
If you could uplaod images of your main task front cover, contents page and dps taht would be great as well as pics of your preliminary task. You could maybe also mention that for your main task ou also had to design a dps which was not required in the ancillary task.
