Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full project?

First of all, preliminary task allowed me to decide how to manage my time while working on music magazine. Also, I was trying to make the pictures and pages look more professional.

These are my two cover pages. My music magazine cover page looks much better and it had improved a lot. The colours are brighter, cover lines are more realistic and the photograph is more eye-catching. 

My contents pages look quite similar but still, the one for the music magazine looks much better in my opinion and more professional.

Also, preliminary task didnt involve working with the InDesign and creating a Treatment Sheet. However, during my real project, The treatment sheet helped me a lot, as in a way  it summed up all the research I've did previously. This involved such things as ABC figures and closer look to the potential audience through the gaps in the market or looking at the distributor companies. 

For me, preliminary task was more of a skills training, which prepared me for the creating of music magazine, however, without it, I would spend much more time and do a much worse music magazine.
