College Magazine Contents Page

This is a very basic mock up of what my contents page should look like. There is no detail but it gives me an idea on where things will be placed. I have not included too much information because I may change a few things to make it better.

Impact of Photoshop

Photoshop is a very useful tool and is used alot in media when making magazine front covers. There are both positive and negative effects of photoshop which can have a major influence on peoples lives.

Positives
