preliminary task

I have finally completed my preliminary task it took a few days and was very hard to think of a name a location what to wright for my contents page how to make it stand out from others and whats icons to use but in the end I have come to a final decision and to me I think it came out pretty decent for my first magazine . originally I was working with a partner but as the year went on we drifted apart so I decided to go solo and do my own thing, this was hard as we made ideas and decisions with each-other but life and my education must go on.

I used the name Johnny Blaze Sixth Form Magazine as it was a cooky idea but made more sophisticated I wanted it to be taken seriously. coming up with the name was very hard due to the fact that a name can either sound silly,catchy or just amazing this is none of them to me this name is fun and mimics my original school founder St John Bosco .
 
The font cover was hard to find and i used joopmag.com to help me edit and alter my magazine to make it look at least some sort of professional i used a picture of my friend sitting on a bench by herself with the sun gleaming over the school playground with trees in the background it is very plain but the picture is epic the colours mesh and clash together the green trees  clashing against the big brown oak looking tree against the turquoise dark blue sky, the colours of the scenery was very seductive for someone who is art mad.





taking pictures for my magazine was very hard I wanted it simple but not to simple I defiantly could of taken some of kids in class but i wanted it to look at least a bit adultish compared to a cartoony looking school magazine. I found editing it really hard try to get everything to look good and to put things in place it is very time consuming and very hard i never knew so much went into making a magazine.
 I could've made my contents page a bit brighter to match my front cover but i am proud with it's look; it looks modern and the contents has a few cheeky bits in it.
my goal was to make a modern young sophisticated magazine which is almost impossible to find  I suppose to me mine has lived up to its looks it looks young and fresh and I am completely happy with it and I would only tweek my contents page a bit more but overall I am pleased with my magazine.
