As evaluation question 7
- 1. Evaluation Question 7 LOOKING BACK AT YOUR PRELIMINARY TASK, WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE LEARNT FROM YOU FULL PRODUCT?
- 2. Preliminary Final Production Front Cover
- 4. Image Progression From my preliminary task to my final production I think I improved in may areas, for example the way I used the camera by using the different shutter settings aloud me to produce a higher quality and better defined image. By using tutorials and advice from others I was able to do this successfully and overcome any issues. In the same way I used tutorials in order to find out how to properly edit my images as well. In order to progress well and produce a quality production I used more research and consideration to produce the images on my final product. My focus group as seen previously also aloud me to develop my production in order to make it effective. For example from my preliminary task where the image is quite dull to my production picture the image is now a lot brighter with a better contrast and creates a better effect all together reflecting a higher quality brand.
- 5. Mast Head Progression From my preliminary task to my production my mast head improved dramatically. This was due to not only the font style but also the positioning of it overall my pages. I used the same style font in order to create a house style, ‘Broadway’, this helped me to establish a unique and effective house style. As the mast head is the main focal point of a page along with perhaps the image it was important for me to develop it from my preliminary task significantly in order to achieve a professional look that suited my genre as well. My preliminary task mast heads did not reflect any style however or any particular genre of music and instead were very plain and random however when progressing to my main production I felt that these mast heads did reflect the style well and was appropriate for my audience Front cover preliminary task mast head Front cover final production mast head Contents page preliminary task mast head Contents page final production mast head
- 6. Layout Progression My layout I feel has improved from my preliminary in the design of my pages as demonstrated on the right with my contents page. A reason for this is I think that I have added sub heading ad also used different font styles and sizes in order to distinguish them as separate pieces of text. The text for example on my double page spread has been arranged in columns to allow my audience to navigate and understand the text and which category they are interested in and fulfils the needs of the audience for example the informative needs. The layout fro my contents page also progresses well as I swapped which way round the images would go to the text as this was more conventional and suited they style and design of the age better making it more appealing and attractive to the reader. I also only chose to use one image here rather than using several as I did on my preliminary contents page as I thought that this particular image created enough impact on its own and also fitted into the page and design well and aloud me to create a shape template to fit my text around.
- 7. Font Style Progression In progression of my preliminary tasks to my final production I was ble to understand styles more and how these can be used to reflect the style and genre of magazine. This was achieved through my research of codes and conventions of existing media products. For the majority of the font I either used ‘Broadway’ if it was a mast head or page number , while most of the other text was written in ‘TW Condensed Arial’. This was because these font styles help to reflect my theme while also conforming and developing conventions. Continuing from this, the size of my font in my final production was very different from my preliminary task in which they don’t vary that much ad was not taken into account as much as in my final piece. As demonstrated in my final production where I have varies and used different style font this has allowed me to create a more realistic look and also adapt my layout and creativity. It also lets me establish with the audience through preferred reading which part of the text is more relevant and which parts are important , for example on my double page spread where I have written the word ‘EXCLUSIVE’ in capitals shows thee reader that this is important and creates a direct impact and draws their attention of the reader to it compared to other areas of text that is present on the page.
- 8. To Conclude… My final production had progressed greatly compared to my preliminary task , this was due to the fact that I had developed and used a lot of new skills in digital technology and learnt how to use other tools and software's in order to create my production and give a more professional look and one that appealed and suited my target audience. These new techniques I had learnt ranged from lighting to camera techniques and settings as well as using tools on Photoshop. My progression varied from the quality and design of my images to the style and layout of my text and fonts. My images were thy key aspect as to what I felt that improved upon and is what allowed me to make my production look professional and to a higher quality by being ble to now manipulate and edit them in previously spoken about ways. In order to be able to do this however research was a key aspect so that I was able to gain a more in-depth knowledge and understanding on how to appropriately and effectively edit my pictures in order to suit the style of my magazine. In turn this allowed me to create a more realistic outcome and one that suited my target audiences tastes . Without this being achieved my final production may to have had the same impact and would perhaps not satisfy my target audience and their needs.
