Prelimenary Task

 This is the full front page of the Sixth form magazine. I chose a picture of me as the cover and I have added different news stories of the time on there. Using the skills we learnt in lesson I applied these news stories in the same way they would be applied on a normal magazine front page.
I used microsoft word to add the text boxes on and then typed on them. I then removed the outline and the fill of the text boxes and print-screened it into Paint. I then copied and pasted it into Paint.Net and saved it under the file of Jpeg.

IMAGE MANIPULATION

For the image manipulation task, we were to change our image and make it into something different.
I decided to crop the image and then put a masthead at the top as the title of the sixth form magazine 
This magazine cover shows hollywood starlet Scarlett Johanson in a clearly visible pose while still making sure the name of the magazine is seen.
I wanted to show a magazine with a pug which can be seen as the red circle which grabs peoples attention

I found that on my questionnaire each question had answers of a higher percentage than all the other answers.
Most people seem to want to see comedic humour on the magazine.
Most people read magazines sometimes.
Half of the people want to change the 1 lesson for 5 hours a day strategy
A lot of the people would read 4-7 magazines a month
Almost all the people seemed to not want to be associated with the school in a shared identity.
