evaulation presentation idea

For my evaluation powerpoint idea i have been asked to come up with a presentation to try show my ideas of my magazine and how it has developed over the months from reasearch and ideas to the making of it. i have thought of some ideas of how i would do it and i believe that using prezi would be a good way to show my presentation. however i may have other ideas instead which im not sure of yet but could use instead of prezi

Contents Page



This is my contents page which i have made for my music magazine, i have used the original colour scheme towards the front cover, the numbers given for each of the pages inside the magazine have been made with a 60's style of writting in black and white. the picture in my contents page i have edited all to be black white contrast which has a good effect of being a background and because i have made each picture slightly transparent they all blend into each other which looks almost to be one picture. the main subjects in this magazine have been indicated at the bottom of the page over a yellow background. this can represent important message to the consumers. the writting used for this is red. This colour of text dominates the colour of white al well being on a yellow background creates eye catching colours which would be the forst thing to see.
