I have chosen as you can see my school magazine. the magazine itself is aimed at pupils and there parents to tell them all the great achievments the school has done over the past year.

i created my magazine on an apple mac G4 using adobe photoshop. the first step to the creation of my magazine was to take a photo the college, i then uploaded the photo onto the apple mac because it was a miserable day when i took the photo i had to use special effects to make the college look nice. I eventually decided to make the front cover the school colours which are yellow and black. To make the college building the way it is i used an effect called photocopier which made the photo black and white. I then changed the brightness so i could see the distinctive difference of colour in the photo, so that i could select the white or black parts of the building and change the colours of them. As you can see i decided to change the white parts of the photo. I find that the colours make the photo look vintage and very stylish. I then changed the colour of the background to make the frontcover very eyecatching, also it makes teh whole front cover the same as the school colours. For our frontcover we had to include a student in medium close up. For my photo I chose a model student of teh college who looks very samrt and presentable. If i had a student that looked very scruffy and untidy the reader would have given the impression that the school wasn't very good and didn't care about there appearence. I thought my front cover would look better if the photo of the student looked the same as the building. So I uploaded the photo from the camera on to teh apple mac and magnetic lassoed around the student and then copied and pasted onto the main frontcover. I did exactly teh same with the student as i did with the building. For the main title of the magazine i chose a very old yet stylish font and obviously used a black colour to make it the same colour as the school colours. My motto was 'History in the Making' i thought this would be good as the building itself is history and possibly the students themself may make history.
