Slide 12 - What have i learnt between the completion of preliminary task to the full product?


I have used the same technique for comparing my main task and preliminary task as I did when i compared my magazine to the professional magazine.
1. Headings - The heading in my preliminary task is unclear and does not stand out, the fact it goes down the page could confuse readers and they could mix up the main headline with the tag line, which is 'The low down on your sixth form,' this ambiguity has disappeared in my main task, and it is clear Riddim is my main heading and it is clear underneath that is a tag line.
2. Main picture - In my main task there is one clear photo, which takes up the most room and dominates the page, in my preliminary task I filled space with photos and it looks unorganized and messy, I learnt my lesson from this and decided that one photo will be enough, as it will link to the main story
3. Attracting an audience - In my main task there are clear headings, with explanation and a clear point, all my headings would attract an audience, my headings differ from subject also, so different types of story will be broadcasted to my target audience, in my preliminary task all the sub headings are the same, all to do with tests and formal news, I should have included a sub heading that detailed the games and things that will help the students relax, as it would have broken the routine of formal news.
4. Background - When I completed my preliminary task I had no clue how to add a background, and resulted in using the 'gradient' tool, as this was the only thing I clicked and changed my background, this resulted in a two tone background, I think it does suit my preliminary task well, but would make my magazine look unprofessional and am glad I found the 'fill' tool that changes the whole background
5. Main headline - The main difference between my main task and my preliminary task is the organization, the lack of organization in my preliminary task stems from the fact i don't have a main headline to draw the whole piece together, this issue has been addressed in my main task, as the main headline is prominant and does it's job by pulling everything together
6. Lack of organization - I've mentioned it a few times before but the main issue i have with my preliminary task is the lack of organization and the fact the photos being as spread out all over the page make it look messy.
