Preliminary Task
Cheyenne
The brief
What was you asked to do?

 To create the front cover and contents page of a school magazine.
What did you think of the task?

 I think the task was straight forward, but at the same time challenging.
What might you learn?

 From the task I think I will learn how to use Photoshop and get familiar with the

software. Also I think I’ll learn how to create a magazine properly for example doing
research and getting pictures.

How will it help?

 It will help me achieve better in the real task as I would have much practice.
Competition - makes the reader
more interested in the magazine.
