Preliminary Task

Our task was to make a front page and contents page of a school based magazine, which I called ‘the pupil’. I sketched the magazine on a plain piece of A4 paper. Once I had finished I was feeling confident I then started to take my photos.

I was asked to make a front cover and a contents page of a school magazine which I called ‘The Pupil’.  I aimed my magazine to the younger part of the so years 7 and 8. I used a basic layout of which were an image is the background and with text and shapes such a circles around the image. I placed the title at the top of page to make it stand out. I tried to get the most interesting sell lines to attract the audience I used large and clear font so it stands out and is easy to read.

With my contents page I have used the same technique but I have just change the layout a little differently. I have put the text on to one side in a column and a picyure on the other side. The title ‘contents’ I put at the top of the page. For each aspect of the magazine I have to create a new layer on Photoshop which makes it easier to work with. One thing that I found difficult when doing this task was how to work Photoshop as I have never used it before. But as I used it more I understood how to use it more.
