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

There are many roles involved in the industry of magazines such as editor (fashion), journalist, art director, PR, advertising executive, picture editor and publisher. All of these roles are important and I felt as though if I had to be all of them that there would be certain roles I would succeed at than others like the journalist so I would write the articles and texts.

I feel since making my preliminary task and making this music magazine I have come further with the design and the realistic features of a proper magazine and what it should look like. The school magazine I made was missing certain features and I feel as though this is why it didn't look as appealing and looked quite dull and lifeless. In my preliminary task, the magazine looks more like a poster or brochure and it seems to be missing the main features that my music magazine has such as one main image, dateline, subheadings, barcode, issues. This is what made it look impractical. I have learnt what publishers and editors have to think about specifically and the things that do stand out without the audience really thinking about it but if it were missing the magazine wouldn't be fully complete.
