I wanted to make sure that the cover of my magazine be appealing to the primary audience, so I included sell-lines that 16-19year-olds might be

interested in. I will also use these methods when I create my music magazine so that it will look more authentic, and will appeal to fans of the genre of the

magazine.

Creating my college magazine

Explain the

thoughts behind

the design for your

college magazine.

When creating my college

magazine in Photoshop, I followed

the design of my flat plan but also

changed and added certain

features where I felt there was

room for improvement. I think that

the adjustments I made make the

cover and the contents page more

appealing as there’s more to look

at.

Who is your audience by age, gender and

audience code? How does your

magazine link to that?The audience for a college magazine is college

students. This would be young adults between the

ages of 16-18 in higher education. The magazine

would appeal to the primary audience as it would

contain information relent to college life, or

information that would be interesting to people of the

age group of the potential readers.

How did you edit your images? What

skills have you picked up by doing

this?I edited my images in a lot of different ways,

including Free Transform and Filter Gallery. This has

helped me gain a better understanding of how to

work using Photoshop, and also to become more

familiar with the program.

Are you happy with your

college magazine?I think that my college

magazine is of a good

standard for my first try of

creating a magazine in

Photoshop. However, I think

that the contests for my

magazine could have been

better as it does not look

very appealing, nor like

something that would be in

an actual magazine.
