Question Seven- Looking back at your pre-liminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product ?

Looking at the images above, the images that are mostly blue and pink are my preliminary task and the rest are my music magazine pages.
Looking back I think I learnt alot progressing from my preliminary task to my main task.
I did my preliminary task using Adobe InDesign whereas I did my music magazine using Adobe Photoshop. I swopped programmes as I felt that Photoshop was more flexible and allowed me to do compared to Indesign. I also felt Photoshop was easier to use. I think swopping programmes had a sufficient impact on the outcome of my work.
I learnt alot about establishing a 'house style' and carrying this through my magazine which I think is more evident in my music magazine. I also tried alot more on my music magazine to make it look alot more professional as I dedicated alot of time to layout and editing pictures to give it an overall substantial look.
I concentrated a lot on establishing a house style and tryed to carry the theme of blue throughout my music magazine pages to create this.
I learnt lots of new techniques on my music magazine compared to my pre-lim task. My pre-lim task looked more like a poster and didnt have a traditional established colour scheme.So for my music magazine I established a colour palette of 4 colours and stuck to this colour palette which helped my too establish my house style.
I learnt the forms and conventions of magazines and actually followed these throughout making my music magazine and therefore my magazine is successful compared to my pre lim task.
I also learnt about heirarchy of text and using pull out quotes and the sweet spot etc and applyed these when making my magazine which I think also improved my magazine compared to my pre lim task.
