The document describes experiments creating a magazine layout. The student used selection and magic wand tools in an image editor to place and edit photos, remove backgrounds, and smooth edges. Fonts were downloaded and customized with resizing and recoloring to fit in desired locations. Photos were cropped to desired sizes for the magazine layout. In the reflection, the student indicates the magic wand tool and knowledge gained about magazine elements and placement will be applied to the final magazine product.

Your Name

2. Process
I set up this magazine as an A4
sheet. I used the quick
selection tool to place and
move around my images. I used
the magic wand to get rid of
backgrounds and smooth out
edges that weren’t smooth. I
downloaded a font off of
‘1001fonts’ and resized it and
recoloured it to look how I
wanted where I wanted it. I
cropped photos to the size I
wanted them on my magazine
and then was happy with the
result.

3. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
– I now know what goes on a magazine, and where
to put different things. I also know what each of
these things are called. I will be using the magic
wand tool, to make backgrounds disappear and to
make my magazine look a lot more professional,
and I know what I’m doing now and that’s evident
in my work, and will be even more so in my actual
magazine.
