What have i learnt from this whole process?    From this whole process i have learnt how too change the brightness, contrast and other effects like that on the main photo i was using on photoshop, before i added it into the publisher document for the main image off the magazine. I am happy with my designs i have made but not as happy with the photo because i would off preferred too be able too edit it more but i couldn't because i don't know how too use phototshop that well. Another thing i have learnt is how too make a magazine for a college/school and what kind off language that is used throughout the whole magazine.

These are my flat plans off the front cover off the college magazine and the contents page of the magazine. I did this on publisher, i did this so i knew where everything was going too go before i designed the actual one.

Summary of what to expect in a college/school magazine

                                     Summary of what too expect in a college/school magazine

In a college or school magazine there might be things about stuff that's upcoming in the college or magaizne such as upcoming trip, or just anythingt hat's going too be going on in the college or school. Another thing that may be in the magazine is if any off the years have went on trips too anywhere there will normally be abit off information about where they went, what they did and maybe some photos aswell too go along with the article. There may be achivements off pupils/students in the college or school magazine. Anther thing might be about the sporting teams and how they are doing in there games, leagues or if they've won anything or played anywhere for any trophies recently.The language used in the magazine should suit the audience they have decided too target. The launguage should be suitable for the students reading the magazine.

This is the mock page off the contents page in the college magazine. This was also produced with publisher too. I changed the background to a grey colour and added too blue lines across the top too make it look more professional and different too any other magazine. Also by making it blue and grey it links too the front cover with the colours. Along the bottom off the page i added the college website for advertising purpose's. I added a brief little sentence drawing the reader's in by saying 'Hey reader's, Check out the amazing things in this weeks college magazine. This makes it more for the college audience because it's like your talking too them and by using the word 'Hey' you wouldn't expect too see that word used in an adults magazine because students use it more.

This is the mock page off a college magazine. Too produce this I used publisher, first i took a photograph off one of my friends doing some work so it would link into the college magazine. I then cropped and re-shaped it so it would fit onto the page and so it would be the correct size for the magaizine. I added a blue and grey border around the edges too make it look more professional and stand out, i then found the name off the college the magazine (bede) and this was blues, white and grey so it went well with the border off the magazine too. i added the word Readable so that the name off the magazine would then be Readable Bede. I added a smaller photo off the futureheads, advertising that there is a exclusive interview with them in the magazine this draws the reader into reading the magazine. I finally added the Sunderland college logo, too show that it's a Sunderland college.
