Simpsons poster activity

For this piece of work I had to use photoshop to make a poster. This will help me in my own work because I will be able to use some of the tools on photoshop and have a bit of idea about what I am doing. During the activity I managed to use tools such as the magic wand, the paint palette, rotating tool and manage the layers. This sets me at a advantage for when starting my own magazine as I will already have some idea what I am doing with the tools and where I can find them on the programme.

Preliminary task front cover

This is the front cover for a college magazine that I got asked to do for my preliminary task. For the image we went round the college and took photos and then added relevant information and a name to the magazine. Before going on to make a contents page. For the contents page we also took photos around the college. And then added page numbers, a title and other information to go with the contexts of the magazine. We then handed the magazine into helen which then marked it for us and give us a mark. Which I got a D for, I then looked at the magazine and looked what I could improve for when I make my own managing. The preliminary task took me 2 hours by the time i took the photos and then added all the text and positioned everything properly. It also helped me with my own magazine as to what it needs on a front cover.

1st contents page construction

For the contents pages I labeled the main pieces of information that jumps out at the audience to make the contents page catch the readers eye. I labeled things such as; page numbers, main title and different ways of getting in touch with the magazine.
