Below you can see my preliminary task which was to make a magazine for Goffs School my aim was to make a front page and contents page which resembles Goffs School. I starting this task of by doing a lot of brainstorming , I brainstormed the possible colours of my magazine, picture ideas, stories i could include and the title of my magazine. I then was asked to sketch out different styles of magazine front covers and contents that i could use. This was quite useful as it allowed me to create an image of what my magazine front cover and contents page could look like. It was also good as it showed me what looked right and what didn't look as good.
The last part of preparing was the most difficult bit as this was to take the photos and decide the background you was going to include, getting the lighting right etc.. For this i decided to take some of our school netball team and other various pictures of different classes doing their work. Now all the preparing was done it was time to create it. After all the brainstorming i decided i was going to use the colour blue as this would match with the school logo and house style very well.
When making my front cover and contents page i was told to use Photo shop which I found very difficult however I managed to complete this. The problems I had during this task were firstly, taking the actual pictures as I wasn't sure what to at first with the background etc.. Secondly I found placing my pictures and text on the front cover and contents page hard as i wasn't sure which looked better. Another problem i had was re sizing the images I wanted on my pages as photo shop wasn't allowing me to do this so in the end I had to make do with the size they already was.
This is my preliminary task front cover
This is my contents page
