Throughout the process of me choosing the design for my magazine to the target audience i feel as though i have really developed and expanded my knowledge on my chose category, i feel as though since my pre lim task, i have looked more in depth to find out more interests and likes of my category to really be able to develop my magazine to something my target audience would want to read and buy. Something that i have changed from my pre lim task is the image and the font i have chose to lay over the top of the image i felt by doing this it made the magazine look more 'realistic' for the audience and would fit better on a shelf if it was ever to be published.
it was important to have done the preliminary task because it allowed me to notice the faults within my skills and the areas in which i was able to focus on and improve like the area of my picture taking and the layout of the magazine, by doing the pre lim task it made me want to think more about the audience and in what they would want to see instead of what i would want to see, it also allowed me to explore more colour palettes and ranges in what works well together and what doesn't, by exploring this i came out with my final magazine with the colour balance of what i think i have achieved from my findings and for me and my target audience it works.i also changed the mast head font style to a more sleek and bold font to draw in well with my magazine, it made my magazine more individual and to stand out more from the other text i was using which was rather generic throughout magazines
But for both magazines there were elements that i decided to keep the same like the type of camera angle and shots, i chose to stick to the close up to mid shot, as i feel this was just a very generic convection to capture the emotion of the artist and to be able to create the eye contact between the reader and the artist, by keeping this the same it allowed me to see that my preliminary task was useful as it showed that i didn't have to change every single element i just had to touch up and improve on some areas in which i was weaker than others.
Overall i feel i have learnt a myriad of skills form the start of my preliminary task to the final product, i feels though i have changed my thought process in to a more individual mindset which allowed me to access the thought process of my target audience which allowed me to achieve my final product to the standard and their liking, hopefully achieving something they would want to read and buy when they saw it on the shelf
