Evaluation of my magazine front cover and contents page

For my preliminary media coursework task I had to create a front cover and contents page of a new school magazine.

I used Adobe Photoshop for my front cover, which I found quite easy to use as I have used it before, although I did learn how to do some new things on it to make my magazine look more professional. For my front cover I used Quark Express, which I have never used before so it took me a while to get used to it, but when I was used to it i found it very useful as it has a good layout for your magazine.
