Firstly I had to think of a name for my magazine and it had to be relevant to 'Haydon School' as the criteria was school related. Therefore the name I picked was 'Haydon At Home' as I thought it was a friendly name and the alliterative title was quite catchy.
After I'd thought of a name I started to sketch out my idea of a front page and a contents. I wanted my magazine to cover all areas of the school from sport, to teachers and exam results. My front cover image is of a boy spinning a basketball on his finger looking straight at the camera, this is biggest story in my magazine. I added a few plugs around the side of the picture.
After I'd designed my front cover, I took the pictures I'd need for my front cover.Once I'd taken my front cover pictures I then designed my
contents page in a easy to read layout splitting the pictures and page numbers to give variety. Once I'd designed my contents page, I took more pictures that were suitable for it to highlight the different features within my magazine.
I'd designed my magazine so then I made it on photoshop. I tried to keep it as similar to my desings as possible however when I'd done it I decided that I didn't like my contents layout as much as I thought I would originally. Therefore I changed where the pictures and texts would be. My front cover however is faily similar to my design. I tried to keep within the school colour scheme of blue and yellow as they're relevant colours to the school. The text is bold and easy to read. My image on the front cover is a full bleed image of a mid-close up of a boy spinning a basketball on his finger. This represents the main story within my magazine.
