Our preliminary task was to create a front cover magazine and a contents page. The magazine had to be a school magazine if the Armthorpe Academy.
To be able to complete our task to our full potential We had to do lots of research leading up to the task. The first thing we did was look at key concepts of a magazine front cover and contents page which helped me understand why front covers and contents page had certain things on them. These concepts where plugs, strap lines, main head and many more. We then looked at a couple of school magazines and analysed the front cover and contents page by using the key concepts
From looking at the Armthorpe Academy magazine I found that there is always an image that dominates the picture this is because students would rather have a quick read than take a long time to go through the magazine their also tends to be a student in the main picture this is used because the students can relate to it. The magazine tends to have plugs at the bottom of the page which tells you what the issue includes this will grab the reader as they know what they will be reading about without having to read through the magazine also the contents page is split into 4 or 5 columns also it only took one page and it didn't take much space.
Before I started making my front cover and contents page I looked at a range of magazine and their styles. I chose a magazine that I thought was suited for a school magazine. A magazine that influenced my design was a excel magazine has it is a good school magazine and a lot of my ideas came form that magazine.
As I went along making my front cover I changed many of my pictures and text. I started of with a picture that took only have the page but this left a lot of white space so I had to make so the picture took the full page leaving no white space and it made the magazine look more professional. I Also change my text layout as to start with the text was crammed in the bottom and it was hard to see. So I moved it around and made the text bigger so it was more spacious and easier to read I also changed the colours many times as they didn’t work some colours was to bright and some didn’t mix with the other colours so in the end I changed to plain colours like black. on my contents page i changed my tittle and moved alot of things around like the place of the text it when i started the text was all over the place and by the end i organised my text and made it look professional
Trough out the task I have learnt many skills in Photoshop I learnt how to cut certain parts of a picture using certain tools. I also learnt how to crop on Photoshop so the picture looks right and fits in correctly. i also learnt where all the tools required was and how to use them
