Magazine Cover - Peliminary task

The software I used to make this magazine cover was Photoshop. I found this software very difficult to use to begin with, because of the large amount of controls. There were also certain techniques to grasp to edit the magazine, which i struggled to learn, due to my unfamiliarity with Photoshop.

After a few tries I managed to learn the basics, and eventually after a few sessions working on the magazine cover I was able to create an edit a magazine cover.

I worked with Marina and Eddie. I found it easy to work in a group because there was a lot of tasks to do, and we managed to break them down and work on different pieces individually which gained us a lot more time to spend editing.

However we did have a few problems with organisation and arranging times to meet to edit the magazine cover. But we managed to resolve these issues in time to finish the magazine over.

We aimed our magazine at our audience which was young adults and teenagers. We managed this audience by the use of font, which would appeal to the chosen audience. We used bright colours, which would appeal to a younger generation, and draw them in. We also used a picture which showed friendship and bonding, which would reflect the atmosphere at Parkwood.

We managed to represent the college through a clear modern use of font and layout. Also we used bright colours to reflect the atmosphere at the college. We also used a bright and friendly picture which portrayed the people at Parkwood.
