I was asked to design the front cover of the school magazine for Preston Manor using Adobe Photoshop. I will take photos of students from different angles and select the most suitable photo to use on the cover. Using Photoshop tools, I will create the magazine cover with the student photo and include the school logo, magazine title, and information about stories inside to make it stylish and appeal to high school and sixth form students.

1. Brief
As a task I was asked to design a school magazine front cover for Preston manor. I will complete this task using adobe
Photoshop. The magazine needs to contain a medium close up image of a student from Preston manor. To do this I will take
pictures of students using a camera at different angles. I will then choose the most suitable and desired picture and begin
creating my magazine on Photoshop. I will use many different tools accessible on Photoshop to complete this task. The
magazine is intended to be stylish and modern as it is being targeted towards high school and sixth form students. I hope
for this to help me achieve a strong grade for AS media.
