making the magazine, this is from
my first photo shoot, so I just
wanted to have a go at making a
magazine and seeing how it would
be with the title and other
features. As you can see I haven’t
tried very hard with this and I
definitely didn’t spend a lot of
time on it as I moved onto my
next one very quick and just kept
making new magazines. I still
think this helped me as I made it
in the early stages of the task.
All magazines must
have a barcode so I
inserted it as one
of the things on
this magazine as I
didn’t add much
more.
I added a runner at the bottom

first attempt I spent a while on Comic Life making this For my second attempt at making
title and I thought it would go on any front cover. my front cover I edited this
picture in Picnik. I kept the runner
at the bottom the same and the
title style as I liked it. Again for
this attempt I didn’t at stories to
it as I moved quickly onto the next
picture as I was always taking
pictures. I didn’t want to waste
my time on the magazines that I
knew I wouldn’t use so I spent
more time perfecting my final
one.
For the location I wanted the girls to be
leaning on the tree to try something
different, I think the image is a good one
but I think for a final magazine it has to be
perfect and the shine on Penny’s face was
a bit to much and the image as a whole is
quite dark. I liked this image to work with
at the start but now I have completed my
magazine I’m glad I didn’t go with it. I
think I edited this photo a bit to much and

look as a whole.

making my front cover. This image
is from my final photo shoot and I
definitely think that I will use an
image from this shoot. I think that
the use of camera makes the
quality far better. I edited the
picture in Picnik a lot as a piece of
hair was in the way. I think it was
successful and professional.
For the added extras, I made
titles that would attract the
audience. If I was to carry on
with this cover then I would
have added more features to
it, but I soon started my final
design and concentrated on it
a lot more than these.
I took the image in my
garden of my friend Penny. I
edited it in Picnik and I think
that I shall use it in my final
piece. I think the image

cover and the barcode next to it as I think it
works really well. I won’t particularly use
this one but I will use something similar.

6. On the page before hand is an image of a double page spread. This
was my first attempt of it. I did a page full on images that were the
same instead of one image. Again I knew I wouldn’t use it as my
final piece but I wanted it as practise. I wrote an interview from
both Ellen and Penny and felt that I got a feel of how to write in the
magazine. The images were edited in Picnik as I did try FotoFlexer
but I couldn’t use it as it never let me upload pictures to it. I edited
the picture into lots of different colours to just practise with what I
had and what effect they would give an image. I did this in publisher
and it was two pages, I found the software easy to use but a little to
easy to use. I found that the page didn’t look very professional and I
couldn’t imagine it in a magazine. I think that doing this helped
though as I got to practise with things and get an idea of what I want
my final to be like and not what I want it to be like. I think that
when it comes to making my double page spread I shan’t do the
same image and I shall be more adventurous and try new things. I
don’t think I shall edit any photos into colour as I don’t think they
look that good.
