I have once again changed my background so the contents page will match my front cover and I have added more pictures to fill up the page. As well as this, I have added effects to my writing and images, these help them stand out and stop them from blending in with each other.

This is my contents page, so far I have included all my stories and a couple of pictures which represent my lead story of a talent show. I have added a drop shadow to all of the pictures to make them stand out from the page, having them layered over each other which results in a nice collage effect.

This is my final front cover with a different background, I found that this was more suitable for a school magazine as it has bits of white, blue, purple and red, these represent the school colours that my target audience wanted me to include. When asking students, I found that this backgound was more appropriate for a school magazine, while keeping the vibrant colours which appealed to the students.

I have now added more colour, sub headings and images, trying to enable the magazine to give off a vibrant vibe and attract the students. Next to the mast head I have added the school logo, this acts as a pug becasue the magazine promotes the school.

I have now added some articles in my left third and the date it is issued. I decided to keep a simple font for all the stories in the left third but I chose to have the lead story in the same stylish font as the mast head becasue this allows it to stand out from the other stories. I have also made the font for the lead story slightly larger than the secondary leads becasue this also allows it to stand out on the cover.

Temporary Magazine cover

This is my temporary magazine cover and I hope to continue to develop it until it looks like a school magazine. So far I have added on my title, my top strip and my tip-on. I have chosen bright red and purple for my background, these colours are going to be my house colours for my school magazine so they will be continued in the contents page aswell. I wanted these colours to be bright and colourful to attract students but I have used a simple font in white which contrasts nicely against the background.

My Front Cover Photo

I've chosen this Picture because it is associated with the Lead Story of a Talent show, and these people are apart of the band which is competing to win the prize. This picture has been cleared of it's background so it can be the centre image of my front cover.

Photos

Now, i need to prepare for my photo shoot as i have decided what pictures i want and who i want to be in them, hopefully, if i organise everything and give clear instructions, i will get all the pictures i need and more, so i can have a variety to look from, and get the best pictures possible.

At the moment i am pretty confident that i will get my magazine done as now i am in the process of making my magazine, i have got all that i need but i am a bit nervous about using photoshop because i have to use it to get a good outcome for my magazine even though i am still new to it and i don't want to waste time in constructing it.
