By comparing my preliminary front cover and my final front cover, it can be clearly seen the improvements that have been made. My preliminary task shows the lack of understanding into what conventions that magazines use to make there products so successful. For example, the use of a clear colour scheme. My final pieces all followed the same colour theme and my preliminary task did not. I learnt the importance of adding important touches such as a bar code and price to the magazine. Also the importance of adding more stories. From analysing popular music magazines, it become obvious that most of the magazine followed the idea of having important information down the left hand column. This was due to this being the side that would be visible on shop shelves. As it can be seen, during my preliminary task I lacked this knowledge. In main, my preliminary task lacked the professional look that is needed for a magazine to be successful. I feel that my final piece had this professional look and shows the progress that I have made.
