School magazine contents page mock up

Here I have designed a mock up of what I believe that the contents age would look like for my school magazine.

School Magazine Front Cover

Here is the final product of my school magazine I have worked on, the cover follows my plan and includes many of the key features a magazine should consist of; Puff, Masthead, Central image, Cover lines, Tagline, Strap line, Barcode, Edition number and Price. 

In my front cover i have used one of the photos I took in the photo shoot  previously and have edited it to make it more appealing.

This is a before and after showing of the photo I had taken and have used in my school magazine cover.

Here you can see that before the picture was bigger and after is smaller as it has been cropped down to size of A4 and has gotten rid off unnecessary parts of the border such as the ceiling and part pd their legs. 

I have also edited  the photo so that it is now brighter so that you can see the photo clearer as before the setting was a bit too dark and not as clear to see the people and setting.

Furthermore, I have also edited to have the effect of the page curling in the top right corner to reveal the schools logo to make the image more intriguing.

School magazine photoshoot

To create my school magazine's central image I did a photo shoot using two of my friends as the models in the library to promote the key aspects my magazine will be about; learning.
