Evaluation Question 7 Title

LOOKING BACK AT YOUR PRELIMINARY TASK, WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE LEARNT IN THE PROGRESSION FROM IT TO FULL PRODUCT?

I feel this is such an improvement from my preliminary magazine, and I am quite proud of it, occasionally I had to make a few changes to the document, but I am now very happy with the product. When I began the music magazine, with my lack of knowledge about Photoshop and InDesign, I did not expect my work to be of the standard that it is. Also the feedback received was positive

The most obvious use of house style is shown through the use of colours. My house style colours were decided from the beginning, so therefore I was aware of what colours I could use, even if they were used in different ways. The only thing which differs quite a bit is the main text, the text used for the front cover information, is not the same text used in the double page spreads.

I am slightly irritated by the image on the first double page spread, because when the image was taken, the models arms were cut out of the picture, and this looks slightly weird now that it is in the centre of the double page spread. I was forced to do two double page spreads, because the text simply would not fit onto one double page spread, without being too small to read.

I much prefer my first double page spread to my second one. This is because the first double page was planned, so I had the time to design it. The second double page spread was not planned, it was an ‘all of a sudden’ decision when I realised the text would not fit.
