By having my draft that I had created it made it easier to organise the photos on the page. I
knew that by looking at my plan I knew what things I wanted to include. Also by using the
Photoshop skills, I used was able to put them into practice and use different effects on my
pictures to make them look professional. I included all these things in my magazine:
Masthead
Headline
Splash
Main Cover lines
Date line
Main image was in the centre of the page
Lure
Main Cover lines
Kicker & Explanatory Text
Barcode
3. I first started with the banner as it is
situated at the top of the page. The
banner is the front page headline which
goes across the full width of the page.
Underneath that, I put the masthead
which is the title at the top of the page
which identifies the newspaper of
magazines. The date line was positioned
at the top right hand corner underneath
the masthead so it would clear for the
audience to see it. Then I put the
headline underneath the mast head as
the main heading with the biggest font
which relates to the main story and the
splash underneath that which is the
main story on the front page which
identifies the newspaper or magazine.
Then I put in main cover line, lure,
image and kicker with explanatory text
with a barcode underneath.
4. Taking My Photos
I took a variety of different photos so that I could have a wide
range to choose from. This way I could look at all of the different
photos and decide which one was best for the front cover.
6. Final Version
This is the final version of my magazine
and it shows that I have followed
my draft but changed a few things
to make it look better.
I decided to use a picture of a student
at my school looking very worried
and with the headline ‘Worried
About Exams?’ because I believe
that this is an important feature to
cover in a school magazine.
I used the blue colours to display
Sacred Heart High School as this is
the schools colours but then I
decided to use a bright yellow for
some of the text as I thought that it
stood out well against the photo
background.
