- Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
- What have you learnt about technologies from the process of contrusting the product?
This image compares the front cover from Pulse magazine, my final piece, with the front cover from Student Shout, a piece of preliminary work, to evaluate what I have learnt and improved upon through the project. The following factors represent what I have learnt in the progression from the preliminary excercise to the final product.
Technology/Software
Creating my music magazine has allowed me to explore into a wide range of technological devices that have enabled me to give the magazine a more unique and proffesional appearance. The most significant piece of software for me, was a website called "Dafont" which allowed me to create diverse headings and logos for my magazine.
Photography
As my photography for Pulse magazine was taken at an event and not staged, it had to undergo a lot of editing work to ensure a proffessional finish. Through this, I beleive I have learnt new skills on software such as photoshop in terms of adjusting and manipulating photography.
Research
To create Pulse magazine, I did a lot of research into the different factors that make up the production of a proffessional magazine, from audience appeal to reworking existing forms and conventions. In addition to this, I've researched into a selection of different writing styles used in music journalism which I found interesting and inspiring in creating my own article. I've also researched into the ways in which magazines attract the consumer in terms of content, advertising and distribution. This I feel, has encouraged me to pay attention to the finer details of the magazine. Through this research, I beleive I have produced a magazine that reflects it's genre and target market in a unique and interesting way.
