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



I believe that the biggest improvement has come in my ability was on photoshop. for my preliminary task I did not know how to use it to the extent that I now know how to use it. my preliminary task looked like it was designed on the software programme 'Paint' while my final product looked so much better and as if it could really be a magazine.

Another way in which I have improved is in the way I have conducted research on other media products and institutions and realised what is a traditional set-up on a magazine. I have improved the way in which I analyse media products, for example I know can break media products into pieces and then evaluate them from there, for example I will Analise the colours used, then analyse the images used and so on.

I have now also learnt how to connect with my target audience. In my preliminary task I did not really have a target audience, I just made my product and whether it was people from one social group or another, I was just hoping people would be attracted by it. Since I have been able to attract the type of social group that I want to aim at and have learnt how to gain there attention through the use of images, layouts, colours and stories.
