Preliminary Task Front Cover & Contents Page

Using Publisher, I created a magazine cover and contents page based on a college magazine.

 

 

 

I recieved feedback from this task that stated both positive and negative comments. Firstly, the use of appropriate and varied images worked well, although the quality of them could be improved. Similarly, I used evidence of key conventions such as the masthead, barcode, coverlines etc. In regards to improvements I could make, I agree with the fact that the colours and fonts are quite dull and boring, and the major spelling area in the masthead demonstrates how I need to take more care in producing my final magazine. The contents page is also quite bare, which is another aspect I will take into consideration. When I create my actual magazine, I will have a lot more time to produce it, so it should look much more professional. I only had 90 minutes to create this magazine, including taking and uploading images. When I create my actual magazine, I will have much more time.
