School Magazine - Preliminary Task

This is the finished version of my front cover for my school magazine. The final design is slightly different to what i had oringally planned, because i realised when actually designing my front cover that the draft copy would not have worked as a front cover. So i did have to make a few alterations, in order to achieve the final product. And as you can see the person on the front cover of my magazine is our very own Valia Akay of post 16, who was happy to help me with my cover.

At the moment we have started working on our planning folders in lessons. So far i have completed a front cover analysis from 'Q Music Magazine' and a double page spread. Then we had the task of taking six photos ourselves and analysing those shots based on the comments from others. We also had to analyse the homepages and a link page to a music magazine website. And am now currently working on a draft copy of our intial ideas for our draft copy of school magazines.


This is an example of the front cover of Q Magazine that i analysed

Now i have completed the front cover for my school magazine, and have learnt skills in how to use photoshop. At first i found photoshop to be difficult to use it wasn't doing what i wanted it to, but now i have a good understanding of it and have managed to complete my first front cover. Now, i am looking for pictures i am going to include in my music magazine for my front cover and double page spread.
