Magazine College Contents


This is the contents page for the college magazine that i had designed the cover to This contents page keeps with the same colour scheme and was designed to be simple yet effective. I didn't want there to be too much information on the page to confuse people but i wanted there to be a right balance between information and pictures and the picture at the bottom has been edited using Photoshop Elements so that it blends into the background and so that it doesn't stand put too much.

The image at the bottom of the page is of a group of year 13 students who were rehearsing for their drama performance. I used Photoshop Elements to edit this photo because it allowed me to completely change the visual effect of the picture. I used the filter tool and accented the edges of the picture to make them stand out more and so that they are harsher and i also increased the brightness of the picture so that i merges into the black background.

I decided to keep with the same colour writing but decided to do different shades going from light at the  top to dark at the bottom so that it contrasts with the background and goes from light to dark. I think that this combination of colours work on this page however i think that the black is too violent and makes the magazine dark but the one way that i could solve this would be to change the background colour to a Grey and White instead of Black as the effect would be the same but it would make the page lighter. Also i think that the image at the bottom of the page could have been better because it is very dark and i could have edited it more to make it lighter and so that peoples faces are clearer.
