LOOKING BACK AT YOUR PRELIMINARY TASK, WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE LEARNT IN THE PROGRESSION FROM IT TO THE FULL PRODUCT?

THE MASTHEADS.

The mastheads for both magazine are both different in many concepts for instance, the preliminary task i went to have a more sophisticated approach for the masthead using as more fancy style of text and composition of where the words where placed for example, the "our" is a more elegant aspect towards the masthead than the other fonts and the future is a more similar font compared to the music magazine font that i went for, for " "Diverse" also, the preliminary for having the website on the front magazine also made the magazine a more formal for the idea of a college magazine and from that i decided to apply my website on the contents page of my music magazine to be a less disruption towards the image and also, to be seen more. The faded approach of the word "magazine" on the preliminary task is a more solid within the beginning and slowly disappears towards the end this effect however, made it difficult to be visible on top of the CVI in the front cover. The bolder aspect on the full product makes the magazine and the outer glow makes the back image more noticeable and the affect is a better fading aspect to use making me use that in the actual product from the mistake i learnt in the preliminary task. The concept i used for the music magazine was inspired from an existing product "Wonderland" and the simplicity of the font and the less disruption but the visible outcome of the masthead makes the whole front cover more eye catching as the whole typeface is in capitals, i made that conclusion from the "future" of the preliminary task is the main aspect to stand out for the magazine and creates a stronger font and visual perspective compared to having lower caps for instance, the magazine part. The difference of the masthead is that the preliminary has a longer masthead and its very continuous font, however, the music magazine has a catchy and one word approach to the magazine making it more useful and noticeable to the target audience as the word itself means "different" and being different for the genre and the audience isn't a bad aspect but something that makes the person who they are.
