Prelim Exercise

This is my Prelim exercise during this exercise we had to use DTP and an image manipulation program, to produce the front page of a school magazine, featuring a photograph of a student in a medium close-up plus some appropriately laid out text and a masthead.

The reason i choose to put this picture together in this way is because the main story of my magazine is the New mac suite that has recently been installed in the kings school. as you can see i have used the rule of thirds by having the person on the right the mac on the left and a small gap in the middle. I have the person in the image looking at the camera so that he engages with the audience. The other reason i have chosen this picture is because the colour of the person in the pictures jacket allowed me to contrast with the title and other pages throughout the magazine. The reasons i have chosen the text fonts and colours that i have used are because the colour contrasts well with the jacket that the person in the picture is wearing, and the reason i have used the different fonts are so that it shows that they are separate with out having to change the colour scheme of the rest of the magazine.
