We were told to use Photoshop to create our front cover for the school magazine. Before i started to create it on the computer i sketched an A4 size plan of what i wanted my front cover to contain and look like. However when i went on to create my front cover on Photoshop i found that my original ideas that i had put into my plan had changed, for example i had planned for the main theme of the magazine to be Halloween based, therefore i was planning on capturing an image of two students in halloween costumes in the school settings. However i found this awkward to do as i was not able to take students out of their classrooms and ask them do dress up. As it was not yet halloween either, there were no decorations or anything to connote that it was Halloween. Moreover i then decided to ask a friend to dress up as a witch, which i found to be more accessible therefore i could take the image and then use that as my central front cover image.
In addition i also had features on my plan, for example there was a Year 12 trip to paris coming up, therefore because all the images had to be original i took a picture of the French flag to connote france. As with my contents page i also decided that i would not have too many images on my front cover, as my central image was very eyecatching, so i didnt want other images surrounding it, because it would look very over the top and confusing.
