Looking back at your preliminary task what do you feel you have learned in the progression from it, to the full media product?

My first attempt at a magazine was not very successful. Not a lot of thought went into the design know the content. 

The first thing that stands out is unsuccessful is the picture. I didn't realise while making the magazine just how important the images are my image is not at all engaging all made to attract the eye it also lacks the detail that my finished product has things like costume make up and poses have been completely overlooked and forgotten.

Also to do with the picture it is obviously not been edited the way it should.

Another thing is the headlines they are random and not strategically placed where as on my final project I realise that for the cover image to have its full effect the headlines would need to be placed what I would not distract from the image but still draw a potential buyer in.

While attempting my preliminary task I did not take the time to plan the content inside it was all spur of the momentand not thought through however when I came to my final product I made sure that I had planned what was going to be on the inside and is it fit with the magazines themes and geners. 

Overall I feel that my preliminary task was not a success for me however looking back I can definitely see where I improved.
