The document outlines the process of creating a magazine about Salford City College. It includes taking photos around the college, editing them in Photoshop and Illustrator, designing a logo and magazine layout. A survey was conducted to gather feedback on magazine preferences. The results were analyzed and informed the magazine design. Considerations were given to file formats and copyright when developing the magazine.

8. Survey results
Here are the graphs what I created
about 3 of the questions I made on
survey monkey. This tells me the
percentages on each of my 3
questions.

9. Magazine logo designs using
Dafont (2.1)

10. Magazine logo designs using
Illustrator (2.1)

11. Logo design
I chose this logo because I think that
the black bit inside the star is really
nice because I have put an effect on it. I
have also put a red border around it. I
also used a tool on illustrator to make
my star look like that I like the turn out
of this I think it looks great I chose this
because I thought it looked the best
overall.

12. Designing the magazine (1.4,
2.1, 2.2)

13. Copy right (1.3)
 Copy right means that if someone has created their own
work then you cant copy it. You can only copy their work if
you have permission from the owner this means that if you
copy their work without permission you can loose your
property, loose your freedom, and also loose your job. You
will also have to pay a fine. My front cover meets
copyright laws because I have used images that I have
taken my self rather than copying someone else's .

This is a screenshot of my
files organised as you can
see in the screenshot I

done this so I know where
to access my work and I
know it will be easy to
find it.
