1. Progress

2. Masthead has improved as I have learnt to use more suitable
fonts and colours based on audience research I have completed.
My images have massively improved as although the shot types are very similar, I have managed
to use model body posture to connote the genre of my magazine. I have also used photo editing
programs such as Photoshop to edit the photo in order to look more professional and suited to
the Indie genre by toning down the colours and adding areas of dark and light to contrast the
body with the highlighted face.

3. I have also used a separate font for my cover story in my main task in order to make it most
noticeable but I have also used a separate colour as I wanted it to be the focus of the front
cover as it relates to the main artist who is represented in the conventional moody Indie way.
My magazine has also improved as I have focused more on conventions of a front cover and
have included many more headlines than my original task as it is conventional to have many
headlines but in a neat ordered layout which is something I have learnt over the course of
this task. I have also used two different types of fonts in order to make the front cover more
appealing to the eye and allow certain headlines to stand out more than others.

4. The conventions of my magazine have improved as the layout is more conventional as I have
already explained by the image shot, the larger cover story and more cluttered layout, but I
have also improved my conventions by adding a date, issue number and bar code.
The mode of address in my final task has improved from my preliminary task as I have
focused it on the genre of my music making it more aggressive and out spoken by saying
things such as “greatest band ever” as apposed to my previous task in which the mode of
address was just the headlines stated with no emotion or address to them.
