1. Evaluation
question 7 
LOOKING BACK AT YOUR PRELIMINARY TASK, WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU
HAVE LEARNT IN THE PROGRESSION FROM IT TO THE FULL PRODUCT?

2. Final production front cover: Preliminary task front cover:

3. Improvements
Preliminary front cover:
• No artificial lighting used, in fact lighting isn’t even considered.
• The image is slightly blurry.
• Barely any text or information.
• The font used does not stand out and size of it is not suitable.
• No editing whatsoever of the image itself.
• The angle of the image isn’t ideal.
• The background is distracting and messy.
• The model’s pose is slightly confusing/random (doesn’t inform which
target audience).
Final production front cover:
• The image has evidently been edited and processed.
• The picture itself is clear and of high quality.
• There are a range of different eye-catching, suitable and visually pleasing fonts.
• A lot more text and information which informs the audience about the subject of
the magazine.
• There is a clear colour scheme.
• The model’s pose is suitable/ideal for this genre.
• The lighting is just right (not too bright).
• The layout is harmonious and balanced.

5. What I have learned 
My preliminary task helped me a realise what needs to be done/changed I order to produce a higher
quality production. In fact I found my preliminary task extremely helpful as it gave me a chance to
experiment with the various technological tools I used in my production. In addition to this it helped me
feel more confident with what I was doing for the final production as I had had some experience.
Without the completion of my preliminary task I don’t think my final production would’ve been as
good.
I learnt that:
 Layout needs to be harmonious and balanced, in other words in needs to flow nicely and catch the
eye of the audience.
 Image needs to be edited for things such as blemishes and also to make it look neat. In addition
to this, it needs to be processed for it to not be plain.
 Text/Font things like the masthead need to stand out and be bold, and there needs to be more
text to inform the audience about the content of the magazine.
 Lighting  has to be taken into account and needs to be carefully chosen as it can totally change
the look of the magazine.
 Photography  angle of the model is important as well as size (eg: its too small on the preliminary
cover).

6. Conclusion:
Due to my preliminary task I learned about the importance of lighting, camera
angles, editing, layout and I also built up my skills in these things. I also got to
practice these skills more than once therefore that improved my overall
production, as I was a bit more familiar with what I was doing.
