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

If you look at both of my magazine covers you can clearly see with practice I have been able to target my audience a lot better. My actualy music magazine looks like a music magazine you may see being sold at news agents and retailers whereas the preliminary task doesnt really have a clear target audience even though it was meant to be aimed at 6th form students. In my personal opinion I believe that the preliminary task front cover looks more like a music poster from a distance instead of a music magazine, it doesnt really attract an audience because there isnt much that stands out even though the image has got a higlighted area with a black and white background.

I have realised the higher the production rate is, the better your magazine will actually look, with a lot of effort the magazine would look like a conventional music magazine if you have done the right research, especially the research into what your audience are hoping to see in the magazine.
