Preliminary Task



For this task I was asked to create a magazine cover and a contents page for an education magazine. I chose to aim my magazine at sixth formers and A-level students. I named my magazine School rocks so that it was clear whom my magazine is aimed at and that it had an obvious target audience. I made sure to include various elements on the cover such as: a Masthead, Coverlines, Puff, Skyine and Price as these are all typical conventions within magazines. 

On the contents page I also made sure to include typical conventions such as a title,Page numbers, Images and a Colour scheme etc. 

Overall I found this task helpful as I was able to practice making a magazine cover and contents page.  From this I was able to practice using the various elements of a magazine along with how to produce this on photoshop, it helped me become more confident and secure in my abilities. Hopefully this task will have a lasting effect and help me when I come to create my music magazine, in both how to produce a magazine and skills and abilities that can be used on photoshop both making it look as good as it can on the shortest space of time that it can.
