Preliminary Exercise: Front Cover And Contents Page - Initial Drawings

This was my initial design for the front cover of my magazine however i made many changes to it as time progressed and I done my own reasearch.

Originally this was the layout and contents desired for my contents pages however i havent changed  much about it except for the articles and used a picture of myself after it was cut and editied by using Photo shop.

School Magazine Front Page Proposal Form

The target audience for my school magazine at the end of the project remained the same of 11-16 year old, however the title changed from 'PRESTON MANOR HIGH SCHOOL' to 'PRESTON Gazette' i changed this as it is unique and isn't a traditional name for a school newsletter. I had originally planned to place a picture of the previous year 11 however as that school picture wasn't published therefore I replaced that idea with a self taken image of the front of the school building as my main image as well as three additional images of me and two other peers instead of the Ofstead logo and munch manor. I decided to use the school colours for my the title of my school magazine which are purple and turquoise and is clear to read, the technical considerations stayed the same, throughout the magazine i used Photo shop and a Canon Camera capture, edit and cut out the images that I have used on my magazine.

The Preliminary Task: A Brief

For my media studies coursework i was asked to design a front cover and contents page for a school magazine which I was to name and create myself, this has helped me to become familiar with the software's needed. The shortcuts and techniques used to create this newsletter will favour me hugely as i have become more aware of the different techniques available to futher create my music magazine in which i  hope to use better more advance techniques. My newsletter was aimed for school children therefore i had to do research to acknowledge what is appreciated and liked by the school children, aged from 11-16. Hopefully my next project will be even better visually as I would have had more practice of the tools used to create a eyecatching and interesting magazine.
