Magazine Covers

Today, I decoded what makes a college magazine cover and design my own magazine cover. And I took the photos for it. I took lots of pictures of people talking in different parts of the college as I believe that this shows the social side of the college. I think that this is partly the reason that most of the students came to farnham in the first place, because it is a smaller school you can get to know people by name and find then after lessons easier.

I want my magazine cover to show the social side to the college and catch people's attention as this is what the students like doing when they are not working. I also want the contents page to awaken the creative side of the audience as I think this will keep them interested in my magazine.

 After my first Photoshop lesson I learnt a little about the layers and why they are used, and why they are seen as useful. I also changed the back ground colours of some of the photos but decided against use that function when it comes to making my cover and contents pages.
