Research and Planning: Preliminary Task and Evaluation

This is my finished college magazine. i made the magazine in Photo shop, i started by placing my image onto a black background and then started looking for more images that would normally go onto a college magazine like a title that would be good and that would fit in with the college name. i picked the Hyde Clarendon College logo and then typed in "magazine" to make it the "Hyde Clarendon college magazine". I like the title because it is a mix of the college name and other media. if i could change it i would change the position of the title to make it more eye catching and also put a boarder behind it to make it look more interesting and make it a bit easier to read as the word "Clarendon" is the same colour as the background

I placed a bar code on the magazine to make it look like a convectional magazine. I then began positioning shapes text and images around the magazine so everything would fit on and not look like there was too much space to be filled in.

I picked this colour scheme because it is simple but affective to use on any magazine.

I like the magazine because it looks like a college magazine and has all the information on it to make it look like a official college magazine i also like the picture and the way the fonts and text boxes are placed as it look more professional and
