What I Have Learned

What I have learned

My college magazine I made was intended to be a standard front cover and contents page, it turned out to be quite simple and basic. The colour scheme for the text was made to black and red as they contrast each other well making each one stand out, Headlines and the masthead was in black while information such as pages and the issue and date of the magazine was in red.

The audience for my magazine would be in the age range of 16-19 as this would either be because they would be in year 11 and would want to know more about college life and how it is, or it may be for newcomers to the college who have just started to give them information they may want or need or they may want to know general information about the college, or it may be people who have been at the college a while and just want to know general information about what’s going on in college. The audience code will there fore be group D. My magazine includes information about college and there fore gives the audience the information there looking for.

Doing this task I have found out how to upload different things such as word documents, Photoshop work, prezi’s and power points to my blog. Now I can use my blog effectively and upload any work I need to my blog quickly and from home, college or the library as I an access my blog from anywhere with WIFI.

In this task I have learned how to use Photoshop’s basic features, however I found Photoshop very stressful and difficult to get used to. However now I am confident I can make something basic with Photoshop and I am confident I will continue my skills on Photoshop.

My basic skills can now be used to make my actual magazine as I can apply text; change fonts, crop images and add images, which I can apply to my actual music magazine when I come to make it.

Overall I am not happy how my college magazine turned out I believe it was too basic and did not include as much skills as I would have liked my magazine to contain, however I found Photoshop very difficult but I still managed to create a simple magazine cover and a simple magazine contents page.
