I have always liked it to use Photoshop and Paint; that is why this task was very entertaining for me. At the moment I am writing this my first magazine is not completely done yet, but I am happy with what I have got so far. The pictures and textures I have used are edited by me. I already knew a bit how to use Photoshop from a couple years ago. I had never heard of the program
InDesign, but it was not hard for me to find out how it worked. It was not difficult and it was a clear program that I definitely will remember for if I will ever need a program like that again.
When it comes to the magazine page I have made... At the start I started writing for a girls magazine for age 13-14. After that I decided that the layout I wanted to make was more for a higher age group, so I changed it, still a teen magazine, to a magazine for 16-17 year olds. The colours I have used fit each other for my opinion. Red catches the eye, and the notebook I have written the interview on fits grey and red.
The fonts also are eye-catching for my opinion.. You can see what belongs where and what is important.
I did my research on the Internet and it did not take long for me to find the information I needed, because the same things were written on every website and I knew exactly what kind of text I wanted to write. Before starting to write or do research, I already had in mind to do an interview.
I am happy with what I have made.
