Evaluation of college magazine

My college magazine didn’t go as well as I had hoped because it was too rushed. My main image wasn’t the right choice for my main article because if she was a fashion designer she would have had a more flattering outfit and she would have been more styled. Also, the title ‘cliché… of City College’ doesn’t make much sense so I could have worded this a lot better. I believe the house style works in the sense the contents and the front cover do look as though they are meant to be together however the font in the contents page is too big and it has no images, which means it looks too plain to be a contents cover. I feel that I should have had a more serious main image in the sense that her facial expressions look a bit too jokey. On my front cover I don’t like the size of the date and think that it should have been a lot smaller because it stands out too much; almost making it a main cell.

My First Photoshop Lesson

• I preset the page to A4 and made sure the file was RGB colour
• Changed the colour of the background
• Opened a picture from my documents
• Cropped the picture
• Moved it onto the A4 colour sheet
• Free transformed the image to make it bigger
• I played around with the colour and tones in the adjustments
• I then right clicked on the layer for the blending option
• i then added text from photoshop and dafont.com
• i then saved it as a JPEG file
