School Magazine Cover and Content Page Practical

Magazine Cover
 

Content Page
 
 
The past two weeks, I've been set a task to produce a School Magazine front cover and a content page. I had to start off with taking pictures around the school and also students. When i started making the front cover, i thought it would be best to start with an basic layout then build up from that, I found this helpful as things fell in place when i finished it. I felt that placing photos on the front cover was a thought as i had to think about where to place them, I was told by my Media teacher that it would be helpful to place the images on a shape layer so it stands out more then insert text underneath each image. Finally i placed on the top the Heworth Grange Logo to make it look official, tag line, the time of the magazine and the price.
 
For the Content page, I thought i would go simple with it especially the layout. I start off inseting shapes around the page then place text and images over it. I thought i wouldnt need much photos for the back ground so i inserted the school yard photo i took and placed it on the bottom right corner of the page, I  then got the rubber tool, fady effect aswell and rubbed around the photo so it would blend in with the white background.
 
Overall, I've gained skills with this task especially using Photoshop and recapping how to use tools aswell. I have been taught how to take photos, plus how it makes a impact on the magazine cover and content page. These skills with be helpful throughout the course.
