I did the evaluation of my magazine that sound on Prezi:

This was a new prgram that I had never used before, and it taught me that there are a lot of other ways to present things than just an essay or powerpoint presentation.

Preliminary Task: School Magazine Front Cover

 

This is my school magazines front cover, I decided to use our own sixth form St Marks and used the colours of the school which are red and gold to be the main colours. The gold colour I used for the background I made faded in the right bottom corner to make it look interesting and to break up one solid colour. I also used the schools logo to make it obvious which school magazine it was. The dark red I used for the title I choose because it was bold and really stood out on the gold background. I used two photos one was the required medium close up of a student, which showed the student enjoying sixth form, but also showed the outside of the school, showing a range as the other photo shows the inside of the school. In the second photo of the students working I chose this photo to make it obvious to see it is a school magazine. The four shapes I used make the logo and the text stand out more, making the magazine look appealing and interesting. Finally the rest of the text I chose Bradley Hand ICT that looked like hand writing, this again helped distinguish this magazine as a school magazine and the lined paper behind the writing, complimented the font style.

Preliminary Task: School Magazine Contents Page

This is my school magazines contents page, this changed quite a lot from my draft as I had the same background as the front cover and I had a picture of stationery instead of students working. However I made these changes to make the magazine look more appealing, the front cover and the contents page still match because of the two fonts and the gold rectangle underlining contents. The photo of the folders I used as the background because it shows a typical school environment and also it makes the contents page look more interesting then one colour would. As I have already mentioned I used the same fonts so the front and content pages matched. The image showed a school environment and so was related to the page and also it made the page look less plain.
