Prelimanary task

For my preliminary task I created a student magazine for City of Sunderland college, Bede campus. In order to create my magazine I looked on the college website at particular events that were being advertised that would make good features. I also looked on the BBC education website for any other information I could use. I created the magazine using Photoshop, I found this easier to use than Publisher. Photoshop allows me create layers and manipulate shapes and images easy. Creating this preliminary task I gained a lot of skills and discovered a lot of tools that will help me when creating my final product.
Feedback I received "(A-), Fantastic work Nicola, this looks the part of a college magazine with clear understanding of conventions, good layout, sell lines and composition. Contents page fairly sparse and lets you down"
