Looking back at my preliminary task, what do what do I feel I have learnt in this progress from it to the full product

Preliminary Magazine Music Magazine One of the main big differences in the magazine is the quality of the images I have used, as the main image on the preliminary task is very blurry whilst the image on my music magazine is of a high standard of quality and this makes an immediate difference to the magazine. Another thing that has been improved in my music magazine is that the images which I have used are more organised and have boxes around them so that they become more defined.
The colour scheme on my music magazine has improved since my Preliminary task as it was mostly used by two colours and didn’t look colourful and attractive whilst the music magazine did this and had a wider colour scheme which meant that it was more appealing to my target audience. Another thing that has improved is that the whole of my front cover has a theme and all of the text used for cover lines is the same text which makes it look better rather that it being different text and looking as if it does not fit together. This is also why for the text I have stuck to 3 main colours as it keeps theme running throughout the magazine. My skills have improved on Photoshop as when creating the Preliminary magazine front cover I did not do any editing to the main image apart from enlarging the photo and rotating it.
Researching different front covers made a very big difference in my music magazine as it meant that I had examples to look and get inspiration from. In conclusion I think that my level of skills has developed massively between my Preliminary magazine and my music magazine as I think that my magazine has moved to a better quality of magazine and looks more professional. This is because the images, layout and titles are all of a high standard. Therefore I think I was successful in improving my magazine front cover.
