preliminary tasks

First i drew out a cover and contents page for a college/school magazine and i created the cover page on indesign using the camera to take a picture of the person i chose to do the front cover. I learnt from this because next time i take a picture it will not be of a person with a complocated hairstyle .I also learnt that the cover should not be filled with as much color as on my school magazine because hip hop magazines should be more dark colors and should not be busy on the front cover it should be simpler. I went on the internet to find other school magazines so i could find out what i needed to write on the magazine and what it needed to be set out as. I found that the text that i used was very effective and eye catching and something i might want to use on my final project. Finally i uploaded the cover on my blog and have scanned my contents page and have posted it.
