When I look back at my preliminary I think that my skills and knowledge on magazine distribution has grown a lot.
When I first started my preliminary I carried out rough research inot collge magazines, however when I researched into music magazines I felt as if I actually used that information whilst I designed my magazine.
I feel as if I’ve learnt how everything that you use in your magazine e has to be there for a reason, whether it to be to represent something/someone, to advertise or to make it seem more professional, everything in a magazine is put there for a reason, one way or another.
With my preliminary I designed in Publisher because that’s the only programme I knew how to work and therefore I don’t think it looked as professional or was a s effective as my music magazine. The images where taken without any planning behind them, unlike with my shoot where I planned location, costume, set, lighting, costumes and poses beforehand. This is why my magazine turned out looking more professional also.
I’ve learnt that it’s so important to how you address your audience and how to make the reader feel certain emotions. I addressed my audience as I was talking to my friend, this made the reader feel as if they were talking to someone they could trust their opinions on, therefore would allow to give ideas to the reader about certain music artists.
I’ve learnt that although you need to make your magazine look interesting and original you need to make it easy to read to the reader. Because there’s no point in doing a really complicated
Masterhead if the reader can’t read what it says. I’ve learnt to find the line between being simple and also being too complicated.
I've learnt how important it is to build up your brand name. I've learnt that its all about the brand and once you build up a reputation for your brand then people will recognise it and it will become stronger and stronger.
The preliminary helped me learn from the mistakes that I made and instead of focusing of what I did wrong, use those mistakes and think ‘what can I do next time to prevent that from happening’. The preliminary helped me get prepared to the task ahead. However I feel that with the preliminary I designed it the way it thought it looked nice and worked well, instead of the way I though the reader would like and would represent certain themes and ideas well.
I also learnt was how magazine institutions work and which company’s distribute which magazines. This helped me because it helped me realise the industry and understand how the process works.
