Masthead:
College bizz more obvious to the magazines
genre and audience, Ebony more hidden and a
mystery.
I learnt to make good use of drop shadow to suit
the genre
I included iconography in both I found this
effective
Included a slogan in the preliminary but not in
the music magazine found it wasnt needed
Positioned in the same place learnt to follow tis
convention

Main Cover line

I feel like the main cover line on my final
product is more distinct and stand out as
a main cover line and therefore I have
learnt to isolate the main cover line as it
is more effective.
I learnt to apply strokes on aspects to
make them more established I did this
for my final product
It is situated in the left sector of the
magazine since the preliminary learnt
how the left column contains the
important features.
Barcode/ issue number/date

The price is higher on the real piece as I learnt

that conventionally magazines of this genre are
around that price
I determined the newest price by considering
the target audience in terms of age and class
which I didnt for the preliminary task.
They are both positioned in the same place I
understood why I did it last time so I replicated
this.

Lure
The lures differ whereby my preliminary lure
was a meal deal voucher and my real product
is a poster.
I learnt that the are certain appropriate lures
depending on genre and target audience
I Chose the voucher as it was a college
magazine for students and meal deals relate
to college
In comparison I chose posters for my real one

I made the skyline larger in

my real piece I learnt that
other magazines have
strapline more of this size.
In the first one I listed
things included in the
magazine but I learnt that
you should use them to see
certain articles

I realised by the time I did

my real product a slogan
isnt needed, as I couldnt
see it on real products.
Slogans are less likely on
magazines, which I didnt
know but now have learnt.

Cover Lines
I had more cover lines on
my preliminary task this
magazine type is more
informative so more cover
lines are displayed.
There are less cover lines
on the music magazine as
you want to only give a
short glimpse and make it
more entertaining than

Both the barcode are in dead sots

however the orientation of the prelim is
sideways , I learnt it is best and more
conventional to have it the right way
round.
I didnt include the date and issue
number on the front cover at this point I
failed to see its importance but by the
real task I learnt that it is essential to the
cover.

Main Image
Theyre both two-person shots one male
and female represented the same way as
each other. I learnt this is effective in
attracting a unisex audience and
displaying the green of the magazine.
I learnt the importance of costume and
makeup looking at the difference
between my magazines shades instead
of glasses and dark attire transformed
the same model form nerdy to coolrepresenting the genre.
They are both medium shots, I
acknowledges that from this shot you see
the model clearly enough and appreciate

Masthead
On both the magazines they are positioned
at the top, which is conventional I learnt
and remembered this form the preliminary
task and carried over this concept.
The masthead is exactly the same from the
front cover in the prelim version whereas I
removed the guitar from my real task. I
learnt to be more daring and that you alter it
minutely from the Uncut magazine.
The masthead took up a lot of space on my
prelim I learnt that it isnt meant to be so

Article Titles
The article titles proceed underneath
subheading in my real task however
this isnt the case in my prelim. I have
learnt to structure this better in my
real product.
The article titles are shorter I on
preliminary version than my final
product. I found that longer more
enthusiastic products are the more
pulling and effective.
The font size is way smaller in my

Social Media Links

Main Image
I have defiantly learnt to portray a main
image correctly, on the preliminary the main
image isnt that clear it is the main one just
because it is at the top doesnt signal it is as
it is the same size as the others too.
Also it is the same image as the front cover
main image which breaks conventions it
should have been a different picture perhaps
of the same people but a different photo.

Page numbers

Editorial

Supplement Images
There are adult males used in the preliminary
contents page which links with the genre as it
is college and teachers are a fundamental
part.
However I learnt that the images should
project what the target audience want to see
and therefore have models a like them
instead which Is what I did in my final
magazine.
I bordered the supplement images on both
magazines although I made the stroke
thinner on my real task as I felt a thinner line
is more professional looking
I felt that I was more adventurous with the
image itself as more props were used and the
camera angles and shots differed instead of

Main Title

I liked the way I presented the page

numbers in the preliminary and so
used a similar approach on the real
product.
I used circles to enclose the page
numbers and applied a bold font.
I kept this method as the page
numbers are clear and stand out
and entice the audience to follow

I didnt include the social media

links in my real product; I feel the
college genre of the magazine
needs the social links whereas
this music magazine may not
need one on the contents page.
I jam packed the contents page
m=with more content as opposed
to this which I feel compensates
as social media links could be

My preliminary task was bare of a

editorial at that point I didnt
really understand it and didnt
see the importance of one
I incorporated an editorial as I
saw its significance after
researching and seeing that it is
essential.

In my real task I abbreviated contents page to contents, which I didnt do in the

prelim after looking through other magazines I found contents was more
used.
I made the font of contents in my final product more different to the other fonts
I found that the fonts in the prelim were too repetitive and similar and so I
made this change.
I prefer the change of moving the main title besides the masthead as their
Grab Quotes

I didnt include grab quotes on my prelim task and learn tot apply them in my
final product.
I learnt that grab quotes are very effective in promoting the article and
creating more hype.
The inclusion of grab quotes I feel make the contents look more fulfilling and
