Prelim OFC

Here is my first OFC, for the Prelim task:

Prelim OFC Photo

I've chosen the photo I'm going to use for the school magazine. I've edited it in Picasa to make it brighter and more impressionable on the audience:

Next I'm going to add the logo and decks, then do some more research to decide what else to add.

Experimental Ideas

This is only an idea of what to do, as I haven't posted the example magazines of my chosen genre - rock. I've collected some front covers and a few contents and main feature pages from rock magazines such as "Kerrang!", "Q", and "NME" etc. I will upload these soon with my notes.

In the meantime, I know it's not strictly speaking the actual task (as the Prelim is a school magazine) but I wanted to have a try and here's what I did with one of my photos:



I made this using Picasa and Picnik to combine the photos and text, and to add the downloaded barcode. I'm going to check this against my earlier rock magazine and make some different versions before I decide on the actual design.
