What I did :

Before creating my magazine, I conducted a survey an asked 20 students to help me see what the students in the Crest sixth form would like in the magazine and I also collected a few other college magazine for ideas and to see the typical features of a college magazine. I then made drafts of the front cover, contents page and double page spread to help me with designing my magazine.

Afterwards,  I took photos of students for the magazine. I used medium close up shot for the front cover. Once I had finished taking the photos I needed for the magazine I was ready to use Photoshop.
