Post Production of magazine

I enjoyed making the magazine overall as it tested my previous photoshop knowledge. Im relatively pleased with the outcome as the front cover, i feel, looks good. The contents page seems a bit plain but its keeping with the colour scheme of the magazine and makes the articles seem more poignont, in all honesty i believe this is the part that lets it down, if i were to re-do this exercise i would definitely invest more time in the contents page because it was a bit of a rushed job. I believe i used photoshop adequately and to an extent that i deem reasonable, in the sense that its semi professional looking, and in that way suits the whole "school magazine" idea because they, generally, tend to be a bit rough round the edges. I used many basic tools like the lasso tool and magi eraser tool but the part im most proud of is the front cover, here i used the brightness and contrast sliders to create a sort of painting style front cover. I did this by accident but I stuck with it because i felt it gave the magazine a sense of uniqueness.
