Final Design.

My Evaluation.

Working on my magazine was very tough and stressful. Starting media was very confusing because I never took media for GCSEs so I found it very hard to catch up. Also I found Photoshop very confusing but at the end I learnt how to use it with some help by my media teacher .I liked how my final design came out I was very proud of myself the way I developed my magazine FrontPage and added more features to it and learnt how to put more colour to my magazine. Also my flat plan was very plain so I needed to add more to my final design also I added a price and bar code for my front page and more features to it. The difficulties I found was catching up with media work because I started the course very late. Photoshop was my weakness because I had no idea how to work on it but I have learnt how to use it also I couldn’t choose between the photos I took. My strength was learning how to coup with Photoshop and thinking of my contents page pictures and putting colour to my background also taking pictures for my magazine.

The Photos I've Taken.

All the photos I've taken.

Changing my mind.

I have decided to change my magazines name frome 'college life' to 'educ@tion' also I decided to change the colours I'm going to use for my front cover instead of using purple and blue I will be using the colours red/brown and blue as the picture has bricks at the back.

My Problems

I found a lot of problems during selecting pictures of students. When going around my school taking pictures alot of girls didn't want there pictures taking and they didn't want to either take it by themselves or they didn't want to look at the camera.

My Work So Far.

Shot List.

These are some of the shots I'll be using in my Magazine College Life.

Layout.

For my Magazine I have decided to use Purple as my main magazine colour because Purple is a calm colour. I will also be having alot of light blue as a colour of thought and ideas.

My Flat Plan.

This is my contents page and it shows a Year11 student stressed about GCSE works so it will let Year 11's Learn how to avoid being stressed.

This is my Front cover and its perfect for my target audience (year11's) because it will have a student that currently studies in Norbury Manor Business Enterprise For Girls'

Main Ideas

My main idea for my school magazine's front and contents page is GCSE's Stress.In my magazine there will be information about how to get into Norbury Manor Business Enterprise College and what grades you need to get to get into college. Also there will be some information and advice to help year 11's get through GCSE's. My typical reader Year 11's who are the ones who will benefit most from the magazine. In the contents page I will also include a section for Year 11's to read about some Sixth Formers education and how they are getting on.I decided on the name College Life to give my audience a image on how college life will be about 

Initial Ideas

My PreLim Will Be called 'College Life'. My task is to create a Front page and a Contents page for a new College magazine which has a photo of a current student which attends the school on the front page. to create these pages I will be using Photoshop and Microsoft publisher.
