MY PRELIMIARY MAGAZINE

This is my preilminary excersize which is on a college magazine.

When carrying out my preliminary magazine I found out a lot of thing which before were not of any knowledge to me. Firstly I learnt that images have to be focus properly in order for a high quality image to be reached. If a photograph is taken without being properly focused the image which lack a sense of representation

Secondly, I learnt that unlike my preliminary magazine  backgrounds within photographs are important , as it is uncongenial to have a background which has no meaning .I should have erased the background and placed the student on a plain background. As I did not know how to do that at the time, it was not possible. But now I have learnt how to do so and this can be done in Photoshop.

Thirdly, I learnt that when making strap lines and headings they cannot have outlines, as in my preliminary magazine there are some strap lines with boxes as outlines and some are not, id did not make use of the space within the photograph as I did not know that I had to put text on both sides of the photograph and instead I only put strap lines and headlines on the right hand side of the front cover.

Lastly I learnt that magazine covers in general must have datelines, a price and a barcode. In saying that they must also have to be fixated in a conventional way. As well as this I have also learnt that the colour themes of a magazine have to relate to one another.
