The contents page has layered, fading images of the school and articles listed with page numbers on an orange background.

4. • In my opinion is my school based magazine a good starter, because I never
worked with Photoshop before and I was able to use a great variety of the
tools that Photoshop offers.
• My front page shows an average student in the age of 17 with a lanyard
and a smile on his face. He has an Asian background that is why I have
chosen him, because of the Asian majority which lives in Bradford, so most
of the students can relate to the magazine.
• My contents page has a more complex layout than I actually planned but it
is still well structured.
• My magazine has everything what a good magazine should have, a good
layout , articles which attracts the target audience and a large amount of
images.
