Week one diary entry, 05 Feb

I had to produce a magazine front cover and contents page for my preliminary task. FirstlyI looked at two different magazines and compared them so I had a better idea of what type of graphology and language they used. After getting inspiration from a magazine called fusion, I then made two sketches of what I wanted for the front cover and contents page to look like. When I drew my sketches I made sure I knew where I wanted my pictures to be placed and what text I wanted to include, so that I had a clear idea of what I wanted my magazine to look like. When it came to producing my magazine front cover and contents page I had to take various pictures that were original to create a more interesting layout. I created my documents in photoshop and experimented with different tools for example I put borders around pictures and changed the colour of different texts to make my product stand out more.
