1. Evaluation Question 7
Looking back at your preliminary task
(the school magazine task), what do you
feel you have learnt in the progression
from it to the main task?

2. Research and Planning
My research and planning skills have improved massively from my prelim to my final product, this
is because for my prelim I only went through 3 steps which were looking at range of professional
magazines to consider layout, produce flat plans to get my ideas down and see roughly what my
magazine would look like, then finally creating the magazine. However for my final product I did
lots more research in order for my magazine to appear professional and appeal to a specific target
audience. I did still produce flat plans though.
As you can see there is a great difference between the flat plans for the prelim and for
the final product with more consideration for detail and appearance.

3. Research and Planning
• Other research for the final product I did that I
did not do for the prelim was target audience
research. I looked at reader profiles for
existing magazines that had a similar audience
to mine such as Q and NME to see who my
audience would be and what type of magazine
would appeal to them. I also interviewed
some of my classmates to further this.

4. Research and Planning
• Another bit of research missing from my prelim task was the
location recees, model release forms, call sheets and hazard
risk assessments, these made sure that I had the right models
and location to provide the best images possible for my
magazine.

5. Construction
As you can see between the prelim(left) and final magazine (right) there is a huge
difference as the final product looks more professional and the prelim looks
rushed and very basic.
