Half Term

Monday 2nd November I have completed my front cover for my school magazine and used a checklist to make sure I included all the necessary conventions. Before half term I was set a headline to complete this. I have now just started my school magazine contents page. So far I have put in my masthead logo and my editorial. I have additionally inserted my main image of my contents page and my editorial photo.

Monday 9th November I have finished all my prelim tasks. To finish off my contents page I added sub lines and made sure that it followed the same style and colour scheme of my front cover.

Monday 16th November I started my main magazine front cover. I used ruler lines to make a layout of the front cover. I made the alter the background colour many times, but it resulted in being burgundy. I created my barcode. I inserted my mask head logo and added cover lines

all over the background.Monday 23rd November I inserted social media logos to my barcode which meant my

front cover was completed. I started my contents page and copied over the background colour. Because xxl have a separate page for their editorial I had to do this. I started with my editorial and I had all ready written the text for homework. Using my pen tool I inserted it. I used the same font style as my magazine front cover for my masthead. I inserted my details and placed signature.

Monday 30th December I continued with my editorial and finished it by added peoples roles and names within the magazine. I started my contents page.
