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

For my prelim task I had to create the front cover and contents page for a college magazine. I think that my skills have improved drastilcy since the prelim task. I have improved my skills in photoshop and have learnt new skills in indesign in order to create my contents page and double page spread. On my prelim I used the same fonts throughout however now I have learnt to use a variety of fonts and in different sizes. I have also learnt that colour is important and decided on a colour scheme before I started. I feel that my prelim front cover looks boring as there is lots of dead space and whiteness.

I don't think that my contents page looks very professional compared to my final product. Things such as the lines not fitting together makes it look unfinished and reduces the quality. Yet again the colours are very plain and I did keep the colours consistant. During the production task I learnt how to put affects on text and images which make it more appealing to look at.
