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

If i was to do this coursework again i wouldn't really change all that much. I achieved things which i thought which was unfixable (pixelation) and also learned so much about how differences can lead to completely different end results, such as different music genre. I also learned how to use my computer more effectively and faster, which was an enjoyable experience because now i can use these techniques everyday.

But it hasn't been all smooth , sometimes i felt like i just wanted to start again and again (mostly on my front cover). This was quite an annoying time but i think it paid of and i managed to create something which looked realistic and professional, i mean i had a few small problems with time management, which are talked about underneath but apart from them i believe i have managed to complete my task at a high quality.

My time management has been overall very good, I managed to finish my front cover, double page spread, and contents page a week before the coursework has to be received in. This allowed for any minor alterations and also enough time for me to focus more on target audience and annotated the photos i took at the photo shoot. My blog has been a little slow to get on but i think its finally like i wanted it to be . I also managed to carry out a questionnaire, and record the results into a spreadsheet and then create graphs on my findings, during the last few days till hand in date. I am glad i managed to do all of this because i believe it will improve my final grade and also help improve the look of my folder.

There was a few things i which i could have achieved but unfortunately run out of time . Such as also colouring in more of my magazine front cover drawn designs. But apart from these two I am happy with my time management and i hope i can keep it during the whole of the media course.

you won't like this but you really need to type up your comments next to your images/ front cover etc....i can't read it- the examiner won;t be able to either. only analyse one 2 real front covers and a double page similar to your own genre.
it WLL be worth it in the end. also, where are your actual front page, dps, contents?
