What is the purpose of the Preliminary Exercise?
The purpose of the Preliminary exercise is to give an understanding as to what is expected for my final product. The preliminary exercise will give me an initial idea of the technology I will need to use for my final product e.g. Photoshop. The exercise will also be used to compare to my final product. I will compare both products discussing what I have improved on from my Preliminary and how my technical abilities have improved.
My summer task pictures.
My front page and contents page mock ups.
My final front page and contents page.
Evaluation
Overall I feel that I worked to the best of my ability in producing a front page and contents page within the time limit given. I learned how to use my time limit sufficiently and stick to the criteria for my front page and contents page. The photos I took for my summer task worked well and were suitable for my magazine. I used some camera skills when taking my pictures e.g making sure I used a medium close up shot for my front page, with a direct mode of address. I could make some improvements with my camera skills by taking more professional looking pictures. If I had a longer time limit I would also improve the appearance of my front page and contents page by making it look more proffessional by using more photoshop skills. When I am producing my final product my technical skills will have improved (photoshop,camera skills etc). I will focus on improving my photoshop skills as I did not use many photoshop skills during my preliminary task. Overall I feel that my preliminary task went well as I stayed on task and worked to the best of my ability.
