Pixlr editing session



I learnt how to use pixlr and edited this picture of Demi Lovato. I added another layer onto the main image and then made the layer black on white by using the hue and saturation tool. I then changed the colour of her hair and lips by using the hue and saturation on the original layer.

This will help me with my magazine as i am now able to edit pictures effectively, to create a wide range of picture styles

Initial ideas for a school magazine

These are my initial thoughts on the prelim task of creating a school magazine:

· Pictures-of students and events that have happened (GCSE and a-level results)

· Student views on the school and events that have happened (how students are finding 6th form, comments on their grades)
· Interesting stories of school news
· Calendar of events/important information (parents evening, trips, etc)
· Information on new teachers
· Title
· Eye catching front page- colourful smart design
· Book/film reviews- less popular/unknown books/films
· Magazine name (negocio , academia, Chronicles of CBA)

I researched some school magazines and my own knowledge to create a list of ideas on what to include in my Preliminary Task of creating a school magazine. This will help me to organise my front page and contents page
