Magazine Front Cover


I first took a picture for my school magazine then created a plan. As you can see on the plan I have a layout which I am planning to use and some annotations.


To make a magazine front cover I used Adobe photoshop. I first took my image using a camera; it specified on the intructions it had to be a medium close up for a school magazine. I decided I would a high angle shot for my medium close up.


This is my original image before editing.


This is my actual magazine copy. To create this using Adobe photoshop I used airbrushing with the model's eyes; from the original colour brown I made them green. I then added text onto the image suing the text tool. To use a font which I thought I would download a suitable font to make my magazine unique. I used two different fonts Sans Serif and a Serif font. The reason for my image being landscape is beacuse I wanted to create a different type of magazine then those that already exist to add to my unique image. Due to it being a school magazine I wanted to keep it simple and ordered reflecting the way a school is run. The colours I used stand out in my opinion and are all related to the orignal picture.
