Evaluation Question 7

Q7 Looking back at your preliminary task, what have you learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

The main thing for me about completing the preliminary task was getting used to the programmes I would be using for my final product. Not only this but it helped me to start thinking in a particular way, so that I could produce a magazine. Considering how to photograph a model or a particular object in a way that shows it in its full potential. In addition to this, thinking about the research, and how to layout the progression to the final product was started in the preliminary, looking at narrowing down my research so that it was targeted at what I would produce.

Since completing my preliminary task I have learnt many skills, such as taking photographs, thinking about the posisiton of the model what she is wearing, the make up and the lighting. All of this together would produce a good quality product. Not only this but I learnt how to modify and edit a photograph in Photoshop so that any shadows or imperfections could be taken out of the photograph and in my case edit the colour of the photo to black and white. Along with this I learnt how to use InDesign, a programme that I had never used before, creating layouts, layers of text and objects to create my pages. In particular using the text layout options for the double page spread something I found quite challenging.

Evaluation Question 4 and 5


Evaluation Question 3

Q3 What kind of media institution would distribute your media product and why?


These companies already publish music magazines, that have been quite successful, I think that there is a gap in the market for a product like mine, for one of these companies to publish. The unique look of my magazine would appeal to their already unique products they have out there, however mine would be totally different. I think that these media institutions would be able to publish and distribute my product the best.
