AS reflections

In terms of my coursework, I feel there are certain features in which I now feel I wish I could change and therefore improve on. Firstly is on the front over as I would change several of the fonts I used. When creating my magazines I believed these were a perfect fit and matched my magazine. However when looking back at m fail product I thought there could be better options available. Secondly on the front cover I would also wish to further change the font on my masthead as I once again believed it matched but an option I narrowed down in the run up to my deadline would of been a better option. On my contents page the main feature I wish could be change is the image in which I used for my editors note. I later realised the mise en scene was not quite right. Despite this I really like the lighting, positioning and mode of address of the model. Finally on the double page spread I feel like more colour could of bee introduced in order to break up the text and I only did this in the middle.

When creating all three of my final products I did struggle with creating features to put into my contents page when listing the article in the magazine. I kept running out of titl ideas and had to conduct a lot of research on google to help me with this. it was the same situation when I had to conduct my double age spread article and it took a long time in order to match the context perfectly while also matching the genre and the audience I had chosen to appeal to. 

When creating my coursework again for A2 I will change the way I do certain things. Firstly I will make sure I am 100% sure with all my decisions that I make in order to be fully satisfied with all my products and do not have anything I am unsure of or do not like. To do this I will make sure I give myself enough time to finish and not rush a decision to later regret it. Furthermore in order to achieve this I will carefully think about each decision and always make sure it matches my audience, genre and brief. In addition to this I will also try a lot more options in order to maximise which looks the best for my final products.
