Preliminary Task

Preliminary task: We had to make a practice school magazine to show our skills, we had to show our fonts, styles and our photo shopped images.
On my front page I used loads of colours and fonts because it is a school magazine and it attracts the reader because teenagers like bright colours. I think the main image is really good aswell because it is bright and bold and it very appropriate with what she is wearing. I think I do need to improve on the font because it does not go with the colours or the images because it is bold, it is not colourful. It is bold and big and my magazine is not bold because it is a small magazine with not that many pages in it.

What I like the best about my magazine is the colours because it is bright and colourful, and it makes the writing and the images stand out. The preliminary task is a really good idea because it really helped me with my final magazine and I think it taught me how to use better fonts, styles, colours and the layout.
I think the title is bold but the colour and the font is not that good, this is why the practice is a good idea because you can practice on different types and fonts and colours and if they look bad you can improve them on your final magazine to make it look successful and look like a real magazine.

I think my contents page is better than my front cover because it looks like a real magazine contents page, I think this helped me really well on my final magazine contents page because contents pages are usually so boring but this contents page looks bright and colourful and will attract the reader, that is what I did with my final magazine contents page, I made it stand out so that it will attract the reader. I think I need to improve on the text, it is too small and the purple does not stand out that much whereas my final magazine contents page is bigger and brighter and the colours of the text makes it stand out even more than it already does.

The thing I like best about my contents page is the pictures, I like the images because they are big and they make the contents page look more appealing, this really helped me with my final magazine contents page images because I made them big and I put the writing on it so the writing stands out. I also like them because the images I used are of people that I no and they look very professional and it makes the images look good. One of my images is black and white and this really works well with my magazine because my background is black, and the writing is colourful and where there is writing on top of the image in yellow it makes the image really stand out.
