Front Cover
When I look back at my two completed front covers, I can notice a huge difference in the quality between the two. I have used the knowledge and experience gained through completing the preliminary task to create and develop my main music magazine.
Firstly, the difference in the photographs is very obvious. When I took the first image, I didn't put as much thought into it as I should have, and used the lighting and contrasting to help disguise this. The image on MYL however, is high quality and has been much more thought out. The camera definitely helped make a difference, and I spent more time on the editing, which has paid off, as the image is clear and sharp, with much better colouring than the image on the cover of the preliminary magazine.
I feel the colour scheme used for the main task reflects the genre of the magazine much better than the preliminary. It is gender neutral and is subtle, but stands out. The colours used on the preliminary are relatable to the issue of the magazine, as it is the Christmas issue, but they do look a little childish and bright, and looking back at it now could possibly be a little feminine.
I chose to have the masthead within the left third of the magazine for my final task, as it makes it much easier to see on the shelf, rather than having it across the middle of the page, as in the preliminary which would be unclear to which magazine it was if on the shelf.
Contents
Again, I feel there is a difference in quality between my preliminary contents page and my music magazine contents page. Although the design is fairly similar, I think my final contents page has a much more professional, adult look to it than the first one.
