Q7 Looking back to your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Front cover

Contents page

Double page spread

Comparing front covers!

My first front cover does not look that great. The model is not cut out properly, there are not enough sell lines and the front cover seems kind of empty.

My second front cover had a lot of sell lines, the main model is cut out properly and the front cover is jammed packed with information.

The primary front cover has a cloudy background whilst the secondary only has a balck gradient tool used.

the second front cover has the model in front of the logo added empasises on the model whilst the first has the model below the title.

Co ntents page

My first contents page has only one picture whilst the second has numerous.

First is colourful with with no colour coordination. The second one has colour coordination used.

The second contents page is jammed packed and has made eefficent use of the page, whilst the first has not.

The second contents page has clear titles and sections, it even has a few pictures to tell you what is going to be in the sections. The first does not.

Double page spread

My double page spread is not formatted in Q and A, it is presented in an essay format, inorder to draw the reader in and make it seem presentable. It is straight to the point and no waffle.

In summary

My layout and compesition help the reader understand whats going on and make it simple.

Photoshop skills developed
