Preliminary Task



This is my Front Cover of my magazine

This is my Contents Page for my magazine

For our preliminary task we had to create a magazine for our school, this was so that we could get used to using Photoshop and get to know what tools we needed to us.

I decided to keep my front cover simple and not too busy, this is so the reader can focus more on the main image that I have used, in this case it was new sixth former's getting to know each other in the new sixth form common area. On my front page I have included a main image, headline and plugs. If I could improve my front cover I would add a bar code, issue number, price and date as I have forgotten to do this. By adding these extra things would make the front cover busier. 

My contents page consists of the main news that’s happening in the school, I have also added many images onto the contents page with page numbers so that the reader can go straight to the page if they wanted to read about it. If I could improve my contents page, I would put an image in the background with the opacity lower so that the page wasn't as empty. I would also add more stories, news and games.
