Preliminary Task 

The preliminary task is like a guideline or much like the starting force driving me towards a successful end product. Sitting in class, our teacher mentioned the achievement and pride we all would feel comparing the first product we created to the last one; our end magazine. The preliminary allowed me to evaluate what existing knowledge and skills I had regarding not only ‘what a magazine is?’ but also how I operate a camera, even if I used an iPhone due to the unavailability of a camera, my natural sense of lighting and depth of field and my ability to think of ideas and themes within a short deadline. The task was like a very brief summary of what we would have to take on for the rest of our foundation portfolio as it encompassed every process from the making of design sketches, making use of effective props, conducting a short photoshoot and editing and final compilation of the preliminary magazine product. It also allowed me to assess my strengths and weaknesses before delving into the journey of creating my final magazine.
