On the whole I believe my main task is far better and professional in terms of a real media product compared to my preliminary task, it is stronger in terms of colours and composition.

I also believe it is stronger in terms of words as I feel through the language it reaches out to the target audience as well as I have not used to many intellectual words, I have made it so my target audience can directly relate to my media product and understand the content included.

SummarySummary On the whole the progression I have made from my preliminary task to my main task has made me value the importance of the use of colours, design and content as all these factors combine together to engage the target audience of my media product to buy it. As when a product is created it should always be created with its target audience in mind as if a product is created without the target audience views or interest involved then it could eventually become a loss.

I believe that my factor to success has been Photoshop as all the colours and designs were created through this software which has given me authority to impress my main consumer which is my target audience
