Roles I Assumed

Sub-Editor Graphic Designer Proof Reader Photographer Layout Sub-Editor Journalist

Easiest Role?

I found that the easiest role for me was being the photographer as I found it a lot of fun. I knew what images I wanted from the start and I got to take them of my friends who also found it enjoyable. It also showed how much of an understanding I have towards images of rock bands.

Hardest role?

I thought that being the journalist was the hardest role as I had to find out which of my friends were up for being in a made up band. Also, I found it hard to organise when to take the photos as some of them had lessons when others did not.

Adobe Photoshop

I used Adobe Photoshop to create the front cover of my magazine. I think there wouldn’t have been a way to make front cover as effective as it was if I did not have Photoshop. I thought the tools were easy to use as I had help whenever I asked for it and I started to understand it from the very start.

Adobe InDesign

I used Adobe InDesign to create both the contents page and the double page spread. I found that this was very effective as there were certain tools that I could use on InDesign and not anywhere else, such as being able to make the text go around the arm of a band member on the first page of my article.
