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

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 as it is a music
magazine theyre posters of artistsI learnt the target audience like

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 factual
The format of the cover lines
were more fluid in terms of
colour scheme and appearance
they look the same whereas in

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 cool- representing the genre.
They are both medium shots, I acknowledges
that from this shot you see the model clearly
enough and appreciate their costume and
makeup strengthened the genre portrayal

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

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

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

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
Grab Quotes

Social Media Links

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

Editorial

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

Main Title

In my real task I abbreviated

contents page to contents, which
I didnt do in the prelim after
I didnt include grab quotes on my
prelim task and learn tot apply them Layoutlooking through other magazines
I found contents was more
in my final product.
In my music magazines I follows a
used.
I learnt that grab quotes are very
column system and followed the rule
I made the font of contents in my
effective in promoting the article and
of thirds
final product more different to
creating more hype.
I learnt this is better than breaking the
the other fonts I found that the
convention as it looks more organised
fonts in the prelim were too
and is easier to comprehend and you
repetitive and similar and so I
made this change.
I prefer the change of moving the
main title besides the masthead
as their both important to this
page - I like how theyre besides
