Evaluation of preliminary task

Evaluation

With
The sketches of the front cover and the contents pages and used these as
the bases to make the magazine pages.


Starting
With the background I created a colour scheme that is the same of the
schools. I simply cropped the
colour and pattern then through time I simply copied and pasted the
patterns under the next one to create a page long pattern.

I
then did a copy of what I sketched and working on Microsoft publisher I
ended with the same as what I had sketched out. Like the texts, titles, images placed
around in the same place as in the plan.

The
images had the sharpen effect, highlight and shadow effects used to even
out the colours in the image and sharpen details.

I
like the finished look of the magazine.
I like the text fonts and sizes to give the effect I wanted of this
being like a magazine. The layout
has and does work well by positioning the text, titles and images to be an
eye-catching magazine. But I feel
an improvement on softening the entire look will help this look professional.

Here
I did the last thing needed and uploaded the images onto my blog.
