  Looking back atmy preliminary task, what do I feel I have learnt inthe progressionfromit tothe full product? In comparison to my preliminary task my final product is distinctive evidence that I have majorly improved on programs such as Photoshop. While producing the school magazine as a preliminary task I did not take into consideration the target audience. The image that I took is not high quality and it has been edited poorly/ little, this makes a huge difference on a magazine as the image should be the main focus, therefore it has to look professional. Bearing in mind the completely different genres, instantly you can determine which magazine was created for the preliminary task. Colour, image, text, and font was all very carefully considered for my final creation, but I did not evaluate different options for the school magazine to a full extent therefore not having explored all options and ultimately producing a non-professional looking magazine. I have been able to learn from my preliminary task and produce a magazine that is shaped around the pop genre, the carefully considered colour scheme and high quality images are where the comparison between each magazine is. By using primary and secondary research I was able to find out the target audiences preferences and change anything that did not quite fit. I experimented a lot with Photoshop before creating my final pieces, the preliminary task was almost a practice of basic skills which I was later able to develop, by doing so I was able to experiment with my own creativity and assess the structure of the magazine in different formats to see which one looked more aesthetically pleasing. I am relatively happy with my final creations but there are some things I would have done to improve if I had the chance to do it again, first of all I would have toned down the teeth whitening to make it look a little more realistic. Secondly I may have reconsidered the layout again and experimented more before constructing the final product. Overall my product meets the general pop magazine standards and looks professional to some extent.
