Preliminary School Magazine


I was very pleased with how my preliminary magazine turned out; creating the school magazine gave me a chance to develop my skills in using Photoshop which will help me when I go on to create my music magazine. I also gained a large amount of knowledge about the use of different tools within Photoshop which I will be able to capitalise later during the course. This was a very enjoyable task as I was able to be very creative in the creation of the school magazine as Photoshop enabled me to add a vast amount of effects to the images I have used within the magazine. At time I had found it hard to use certain tools, for example the text tool proved very difficult to use at times as it created new text boxes when I actually wanted to highlight the existing text. But eventually I was able to overcome this problem.

Preliminary Task Brief


I am going to create a school magazine front cover and contents page for my preliminary task. I am doing so I gain the knowledge needed to create my magazine. This also gives me a chance to get used to the software I will be using through out this course. This will give me an advantage during later parts of the course as I will have the knowledge to be able to create the music magazine to the best of my ability. The skills I have learnt during the preliminary task will help me in the future. This may not be my best piece of work as it is my first project but I hope doing this well help me improve in the long run.
