Magazine Evaluation

Magazine Evaluation 


Our magazine preliminary task was to create a school magazine and contents page.
I drew out my original design on A3 paper and annotated it. With annotations I realised that the masthead was not large enough to cover the whole width of the top of the page. I then placed the barcode just under the masthead. I took a mid shot of Jack and then used the magnetic lassoo on photoshop to cut round him. I then enlarged the image and used it to fill the right of the cover page. I then added the features below the barcode. I also placed a logo of lutterworth college on the bottom left of the page.

 


To cover the top of the contents page I used another Lutterworth College logo. Below this I added the contents title which covered the width of the page. I then added the features and pages of the magazine below this. I tried to keep a red and white colour scheme for the text and background. 

I feel that I am happy with the cover page. However I would have liked to of added more detail to the contents. This preliminary task has given some skills that will help me if I decide to to a music magazine as my coursework.
