college magazine

My College Magazine


This is my first attempt of a college magazine, i have taken a medium shot of my fellow students using an 8mp iphone 5 camera with the HDR on. I decided to use this as i can get both back and for ground in the shot and not loose any light. Also using an iphone gives me an ideal magazine photo due to a portrait shot. When editing the photo the only thing i had to do is bring the contrast up to make the image more defined. when i was happy with shot i edited to fit a magazine.

I then decided to make my magazine a 'red top' to stand out and its also the schools house colours. Plus it makes the mast head stand out from the rest of the front page.

As my magazine is aimed at students i decided use allot of colours to attract the readers, also i made it look extremely informal as i used the polygonal tool to cut the bottom of the picture off as it was dead space, plus it makes the cover look more informal which adheres to my target audience. 

I finally added a black font for my headlines, i used this to make it stand out from the yellow background. And used a more modern font to relate to the younger audience.
