Preliminary task

Preliminary task

In this task i learned how to edit photos within Photoshop, this is a new skill which i may need when i come to make my final magazine. The Photoshop software is a new tool to me and my final magazine will hopefully show progress on me learning the software.

For the contents page i learned how to change filters and make the colour scheme black and white, i chose todo this as it would show off my new skills that Ive learned.

Preliminary task (Draft)

This is my draft of the front cover of my preliminary task.
I chose this layout as it gives enough room for the picture to be viable and to see the group of sixth form students helping a lost sixth former.
The text boxes contain subheadings of topics within the magazine.
I will be using this layout for my final front cover for the school magazine.

Preliminary pictures

The pictures above are the ones that i took for my preliminary magazine task. i used a vary of shots and locations within the school to give a good idea on what the new comers can expect, by looking at the photos that ive taken, it gives you a good representation on what to expect from the school and sixth form.

Question six - Evaluation

 This is just one thing that I've learned during my Photoshop experience, during this I've learned a lot. Being able to edit pictures and make pictures look cartoon like which will help within my genre of music, a metal/rock theme and on some magazines they've got a punk rock style to them as well.

This is another thing i also learned on Photoshop, being able to make photos look cartoon like, this helps because it fits along the theme and style of my magazine.
