The preliminary task had a more precised target audience but with my magazine i could give it more of a identity through the typogrphy,colour choices and image. With the main task i looked at excisting music magazine covers to help me develope my ideas, this also helped me to get a more professional layout/design.
The preliminary task allowed me to experiment with technologies i hadn't used before, so when it came to my music magazine construction i gauned some knowledge of how the software works, which made it a lot easier for me to produce.
By using Photoshop i could adapt the lighting,UV exposure and saturation. On my preliminary task it does not look as good as it does on my music magazine cover because with my preliminary task i had little knowledge and was experimenting around I also used Photoshop rulers.This helped me a lot with the main task as it helped me line everything up, helped me to divide the page evenly and made my main task look all straight and professional.
Also on my main task compared to my preliminary task you can see that i have learned how to space and size my text properly to get a more professional look.
