It has been a long time since I started the preliminary task, and I feel that
I have learnt a considerable amount over this time. After comparing my perliminary and main tasks i came to a conclusion. It seems that although I have not learnt much new techniques, I have gained a great understanding in the techniques conventions used to attract different target audiences, a great understanding in how to use and manipulate blogger.
When we started the project I had little knowledge of how magazines are supposed to look. I had read many magazine's, but never payed attention to their layouts and conventions, so I had no idea of where to put what. Thanks to my teachers I have gained an exceeding amount of knowledge on how a magazine is generally laid out, what conventions are, and even how the conventions of a magazine can vary based on different genres. I also learned about colours, how different colours connote different meanings, and what colours go together to make a good or bad colour scheme, and how to make text more readable by using strokes and other effects.
When we started the project I had no idea what blogger was, let alone how to use it. And although I prefer more interactive and visual blogs such as Tumblr, I feel that i have gained a great understanding in how to use blogger, how to upload pictures and even videos (although I did not upload any) and how to structure the posts of my blog. Lastly I learnt how to customise the layout, colour scheme and overall theme of my blog, helping improve the presentation of my work.
