The document describes the process taken to design the front cover and contents page for a school magazine. Key elements included adding a footer, issue number, title, subheadings, pictures of peers, and indications of inside contents to the front cover to make it appealing. The contents page lists the magazine sections and their page numbers, and includes a school header, title, and edited student picture.
1. Preliminary Task- Explanation
• This is my background of
the front cover of the
magazine, as it is a school
magazine I have used a
ready made footer to make
the magazine more
authentic
• This image was taken by
me, I have adjusted it to fit
the A4 Format for my school
magazine
2. • I have also added an Issue
Number for the magazine –
‘ Issue Number 1 February
2012’
• I have added a title to my
form of a school newsletter –
‘ Preston Gazette’
• Furthermore I have added
sub-headings of what will be
in the contents of the
magazine
• To attract more readers I
have also written ‘More
Updates On PMS INSIDE...’
Hopefully to encourage
readers to read inside further
3. • After being photo shopped i
have placed three pictures of
my peers on the cover.
• Under the pictures there are
more indications of the inside
contents
4. • Furthermore to make
the magazine more
desirable I have added
a bubble which initiates
that this magazine is
free, hopefully making
it more attractive to my
target audience which
are school children.
5. • This is my end product of the
school front cover.
6. • On the contents page of my
school magazine I have
carried on the school header
• Additionally I have carried on
the title for my contents
page
7. • To perform the job a
contents page is
intended to do I have
listed what will be in
the contents of the
magazine followed by
the appropriate page
number
8. • at last to finish the
magazine I was asked to
add an image on the
contents page as well,
therefore I have added a
picture of myself which
was been cut out and
edited by Photoshop CS2
