Here is the final video of my evaluation. Hope you enjoy :D

After having created my front cover, I then began to work on the Contents page of the magazine. Before I started, I looked at how other magazine contents were organised. With this help, I noticed that some of them had columns, page numbers and the title of what was on the page, as well with a few images.
As I created the content page, I decided to use and image for the background. After playing about with the image, I learnt how to fade the image using the contrast tool, as well as the vibrant tool. I then created the column with the shapes tool and added the text, along with a few other images I had taken for ideas of the front cover.

For this task, I went out and took a few photo's of my own of students. Having taken 6 photo's I decided to use one and with the help of photo shop, I was able to learn how to change the lighting of the image that I used. I also learnt how to add shapes onto the image as seen in the bottom right hand corner of the magazine cover, to make a certain piece of information stand out and look appealing. I also used different font styles for each heading for the articles within the magazine, to help grab the readers interest. I also coloured the writing as the same colours as the books the person on the cover is holding.

 

 

 

Using paint, I was able to create the basic frame of a front cover for a school/ collage magazine.
All I needed to do was find an image of a student, and then add the titles of the stories/ articles that will go in the magazine. When this was done, I had to then plan to make an actual front cover of a school/ collage magazine.
