PRODUCTION OF SCHOOL MAGAZINE FRONT COVER!

FINAL IMAGES FOR SCHOOL MAGAZINE!

To create my contents page I used QuarkExpress.
Here are my screen grabs of my development in creating my contents.

  Here, i opened up QuarkExpress and added my headline- "Contents" and numbers of where my main images will be situated.

Then, I added two sublines "Features" and "Regulars".




 Here, I added my main images next to the numbers I inserted.

After adding my images I then included all my articles in the "Features" and "Regulars".

Finally, I then added my editors letter which made my contents page complete.

To create my front cover of my school magazine, I used a programe called Photoshop to help design my media product.

After importing my picture into Photoshop, I used the Polygonal Lasso Tool to cut around my main image.

I then added my masthead- "SchoolChat" using the text tool and chosing my colour and font. I also added my main cover line- "WelcomeBack! Outstanding Results" across my main image. After, I imported a picture of a bar code and situated it at the bottem corner of my cover. 

I then added two buzz words using the rectangle tool to create two coloured rectangles. Then I added a text to the rectangles- "Only 50p" and "Plus Your Horoscopes".











Finally, I added my coverlines using the text tool and different colours. I then posisioned my coverlines on the sides of my front cover.

PHOTOGRAPHS FOR SCHOOL MAGAZINE!

For my magazine, i had to collect some images so that they would be included on my front cover and in my contents!:

Again, after collecting all of my ideas for the contents page I designed a rough layout of what would be my contents page in my magazine:
