When doing my preliminary task I didnt do any audience research so it was hard for me to decide what to include in my magazine as I didnt know what they would like. I think that my approach to the audience has improved as I analysed the results from my audience research and looked more at my target audience.
My preliminary task did help me to understand the conventions of magazines better as I did some research prior to creating the magazine. It helped me to apply these to my main task which made my magazine look more professional.
When creating my preliminary task I used InDesign and found I didnt like it so I switched to photoshop, I think that it is good that I learnt which one I prefer by doing the preliminary as it saved me time in the main task as if I had to switch half way through that I could have fallen behind on work. This also meant that during my preliminary I was able to experiment more with the software and understand it and find techniques and tools I could apply to the main task.
When evaluating my preliminary task and looking at others it made me see what not to do in the main task and what worked well, this is critical in helping me to maximise my marks and not make the same mistakes.
