Photoshop toolsI used the select tool to move my layers to the place I needed them

I used the cropping tool to crop my images to the size I wanted

I used the text tool to add a masthead and cover lines on my front page, and for the headline and text on my contents page

I used this tool to set the background colour on my contents page

Improvements

If I had more time to improve my front cover and contents page of the magazine I would do some things differently…• I would have used the quick selection tool to select the main person in the

picture and change the background of my feature article photograph.• I would edit the font in the masthead to make it more exciting and stand

out.• I would also add a plug and puff to my front cover.• Make my images are less pixelated. • Take my feature article photo still as a mid shot but at a better angle.• I would also use different types of fonts to make it look more interesting.

Conventions

• I used big eye catching font for the masthead to draw attention.• I put the school logo onto my front page and contents page to make it

relevant to the school and more professional.• I used school colours so my magazine relates to the school.• My feature article photo represented a happy student at the school which

would help the reader know what the school is like.• I used white text to stand out on dark coloured backgrounds that is easy

to read.• I used images of people at school and the sixth form looking like they’re

enjoying themselves to let people know it is a happy place to be.
