What works the most on my college magazine is the image on the front
page, it links in with the college theme. A college student in the library
doing her work successfully and to a high standard with a smile on her
face. That’s what college is all about working hard but also having a
laugh along the way. I also really like the strap l come up with ‘in’s and
out’s of college’ it is straight to the point and easy to read.




The one thing that I don’t think works is the different font of writing on
the front page, I think I should have done it all the same font to make
it look better and more neat. During the making of my magazine I
thought about changing the colour of my writing but I thought id keep
it plain and simple because all the research I did about college
magazines I found out that there not all about the colour its about the
content
The most difficult part of making my whole magazine was working my way
around Photoshop, I'm not used to all the tools and the way it works. Its a
very difficult program to use if you have only been using it for a short while.
Taking my own images was also a little difficult for me the reason being
because I don’t do photography and I have no idea how to use the big
cameras with lots of different settings, but once I knew how to do that I
picked it up really quick and took some good quality photos which I am very
pleased with.




The part that I thought was most easy was thinking of what articles I would
put in my magazine and what would be features and what would be
regulars. I also enjoyed and found making the name of my college
magazine simply because it didn’t have to be some really long name it
could just be plain and simple, because its a college magazine
I have learnt how to make a magazine through Photoshop, I have
never done anything like this before and I didn't have a clue what I
was doing at the start, but as the project moved forward I learnt a lot
about how to use Photoshop and how to make an overall good
quality magazine. And this will all help me in the future of a level
media.
If i was to compare my college magazine to any I would compare it to i
would compare it to this magazine.

                                        The reason I would compare it
                                        to this magazine because it is
                                        plain and simple like mine but
                                        gets the point across
                                        efficiently. Also this magazine
                                        company have done just one
                                        big image on the front, of a
                                        student and not some fashion
                                        model and it hasn't’ been
                                        edited to make her look better
                                        than what she looks like some
                                        magazines.
Overall my magazine has been a really good project to do, because I have
gained many skills and have learnt how to use a program I never thought I
would be able to use. I still need a little bit of practice on Photoshop and then ill
be able to use it really easily with no help at all. I really enjoyed making this
magazine because its something completely different to what I'm used to
doing, something practical suits me better than writing 3000 word essays. And I
personally think my magazine turned out really well, and it can be improved
and I know that, if I had a little more time I would be perfect.

    If i wasto compare my college magazine to any I would compare it to i would compare it to this magazine. The reason I would compare it to this magazine because it is plain and simple like mine but gets the point across efficiently. Also this magazine company have done just one big image on the front, of a student and not some fashion model and it hasn't’ been edited to make her look better than what she looks like some magazines.
