Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from the preliminary task to your final task?

Looking back at my preliminary task, I think that I have improved my skills in the different programmes I used. For example, I have used the skills I learnt from my preliminary task in Quark express and developed them when creating my main task.
I think my layout skills have developed because I have taken more time and care of smaller details.
In my preliminary task, I didn't take much care on my front cover. The stories weren't set out accordingly to most popular and some of my cover lines where extended over someones head in my background image.
In my main task I had developed my skills and studied professional front covers on music magazines to see how mine could be developed better. I studied the codes and conventions of a music magazine front cover and saw what I needed to have on my magazine and applied these to my main task. After researching different magazines, I found two front covers from nme and Q that I wanted to base my front cover around.
I chose this magazine because I liked the attitude and look of Pete Doherty in the main image. I like the scene it sets for the magazine and knew that is the type of magazine I wanted mine to be like.
I chose to base my main task front cover on the layout of this magazine because I like the way it looks really professional but also keeps with the music genre, indie.
Looking back at my preliminary task I can see that I have made a big change to my contents page. In my preliminary task my contents page isn't organised at all and the colours dont really match. I hadn't planned the set up of it well and didn't really think about what stories needed to stand out more than others and how to do this in an effective way.
I didn't recognise that my magaizne wasn't wuirky, there was nothing unique to it. There wasn't much order to the layout. I hadn't used columns correctly, put number pages on, the size of the font was too big and I hadn't even used a masthead.
Now looking at my contents page in my main task, I have contained a form of order on the page, i have used borders around images to make them stand out, organizsed it with columns and page numbers, and used bold for titles to make them stand out.
I have learnt how to set out my double page spread like a real magazine and been able to edit my contents page to look professional.
For my double page spread, I can see that my skills have developed by useing guides for columns, I jave been able to import images correctly and make everything more presice and look more professional.
