School Magazine Front Cover

This was the original photo that I took before I did any editing.

It contains a long shot of year 9 students walking outside of the main school building. 

The reason I chose this photo is because I wanted to make it clear that the magazine was about school, and by including pupils in uniform and the school sign, I found this would make this very clear.

This is the photo after I edited it. As you can see I cropped the photo to make it smaller and fit into the centre of the page. I also put the mast head at the top in a bold serif font in the colour black so that it stood out on the white background. I also added small short snippets of information such as GCSE results, year 11 prom and parents evening. Doing this gives the audience an idea of what sort of information will be inside and hopefully entice them to read it. I also stuck to the school colour theme which is red white and black. This gives it a more professional look and makes the information look very aesthetically pleasing. For example, black text looks clear when places on a red background.

In conclusion, I was quite happy with my final school magazine cover, and think with further learnt skills and techniques it could look even better.
