Contents Page

I have decided to use the group picture for the contents page. The picture looks welcoming and friendly which is the idea of the magazine. I want my my magazine to make new and old sixth formers feel welcome. Also i like the idea that it links to the front cover of the magazine instead of just having a different picture.

Contents Page - Ideas

I would like my contents page to have the same style as my front cover. This is because i want to stick to one house style. This will make my magazine look more like a professional magazine by sticking to one style. I have found three pictures that i could possibly use for my front cover. I might use the picture on the left as my contents page. This picture i think works well with my front cover as they both have a green background affect, with the trees. I have got Georgia to stand on her side laughing as i am trying to stick to the same style as the front cover.

The other picture is a picture of Becki. This is a natural shot as she was unaware of me taking it. I like the way it is natural and not a pose. I think it could work with my style of magazine, however the picture of Georgia has the background with greenery.

I might use this photo for my contents page. I like the idea that it is a group picture and that everyone is smiling. I want the picture to represent that everyone is happy at sixth form and welcoming feel, to make the new girls feel welcome. I also like the idea it links to my image on the front cover of the magazine.

Front Cover

For my front cover, i wanted to give it a young effect, so that it draws in the students. I added the cover photo and tilted it. This was because it adds interest to the cover,instead of being straight down in the corner. The black border around the picture, i think works well as it separates the cover photo from the main photo.

Adding Additional Images and Text

This will be the cover photo i will use. I will edit this photo in differnt ways and try it out to see which picture looks the best. I choose this photo because it looks welcoming and friendly and thatnis how i would like to portry my school. However again i will editing this photo so that it stands out more and i will also be adding text to it.





I have edited this photo by making the contrast and brightness very bright and looks like a sepia effect. I have also curved the edges round, which i think gives the photo an older effect, maybe 1960's.







This is the cover photo i have decided to use. I edited the phto by changing the lighting to make the photo look bright and show a white background effect. I then added a bold, harsh black border. This because the photo is not very big and i still want the photo the stand out on the cover.

Adding Text

I had already designed my text at the beginning of making the magazine process. I was going to use a black colour for the title but the black did not work well with the green trees. It was hard to see so i have decided to use white colour. Also i have put the title on the left side instead of the centre. This is because most magazines centre the title and want to make this magazine slightly different. I have also added text next to the image of Claire. This text is to advertise to the pupils that sports day is coming up and everyone should get involved.
