Question 7 - Looking back at my preliminary task what do I feel I have learnt in the progression from it?

Twyla Isles's Slidely by Slidely Slideshow

This slide show shows the differences between my school magazine and my music magazine. The slide show shows how well I've improved for creating magazines. This is shown by the layouts I have used. I have also learnt about the use of fonts and colours I use and how important that is because some fonts and colours can make my magazine look professional and others can make it look childish. With using colours, i have also learnt how well which colours contrast with each other the best. With using fonts I had to think about how big or small my text is on certain pages to create emphasis with my audience. Whilst using fireworks, I learnt about how to use guidelines properly. Guidelines are very important because they can make your magazine look professional.  Another thing I found important, was choosing the right target audience and how to aim it towards them. This is important because for example I wouldn't aim my school magazine at pensioners because they wouldn't need to read and it would be appropriate. Lastly, I had to think about how my models/artists represented themselves towards my audience. For example for my RnB music magazine I had to think about how my models dressed for the photo's. This is because of how my audience would stereotype them.
