Final school magazine front cover-Preliminary Task

this is my final school magazine front cover, i have changed the colour and the position of the straplines. i found it quite difficult choosing the correct colours because of the use of different colours in the image taken.However for the main task, i am now aware that i will take an image that does no include so much color and lighting.

1st draft of front cover for school magazine-Preliminary task

I have not yet completed my school magazine front cover, because i need to add a medium close up image, which i will do in lesson. I have used an image of a sixth form student working on the computer. This image represents the good use of technology we have in the school, the fun, exciting, colourful elements of the school (shown on the poster) and that education is taken seriously towards any student within the sixth form and school. Also the close up medium shows the same student reading a book, and therefore that school students and sixth form students have good access to facilities like the library to help them to read eduactionally and in their own lesiure time.

i have not yet taken pictures, therefore at the moment i am currently creating everything else that the front cover will need such as; the masthead and some straplines. also i am mocking up teh contents page for the preliminary task.

1st draft of front cover for 'dwell' magazine

Today i have managed to add the front cover to a magazine that i editied using Publisher onto my blog. I think my front cover is done quite well considering it's my first attempt. Hopefully, over the next few weeks I can do much better as i will learn more skills, which will enable me to use them for my main task.
