This is the original photo of me that is used as my main image on my magazine. This is a great image because this is me at the national water HPP which is where GB train. I have cropped the image on the left and not above in my magazine because on my magazine it looks better with the
background to show the surrounding. I have included puffs so my target audience will be drawn into buying my magazine. I have tried to keep the design the same as the other kayak magazine I got my inspiration from.
I have got a black background because it can appeal to both genders, the black shows the images well so they stand out. I have took some of the chrematistics from another kayak magazine so it looks professional. I have used my own images because they are related to the magazine kayaking and they
are not on the internet so they are fresh pictures. I used the font at the top because on other magazine they have basic fonts and because I would hope more people would read my magazine because it is so different to other magazines. Next time I would put one image in and add more puffs to draw the audience in. I have used Photoshop to make my magazine because it is the software to make my magazine also it is easy to crop and change my images.
I could next time use the same font and the same colour throughout and for the puffs bold them. The writing over the picture works great when the writing in not a lot but when the writing is large you cannot really see what it says.
This is the photo that I cropped using Photoshop but I did not crop a lot of it so you had most of the background but not too much so it does not fit on the page.
Then I put two pictures of me in and put reviews of the boat I was in and I got a picture of a very famous kayaker and put a catch headline with it.
Then I wrote about how to do tricks on a kayak and that appeals to all ability’s. I had to find room on my magazine to put date and price also barcode. I have put the plus bit on the left because it stands out when you look at all the magazines on the shelf. I had to change the kayak arger logo because it was originally in black but it did not stand out with the background but I works great in yellow.
This is when I have put the barcode in Photoshop to put on my magazine.
Tools I used
Crop tool
Text tool
Insert tool

Overall I think it went well because it looks like a professional magazine.
