Description: Students are to demonstrate their knowledge of using Photoshop tools including masking tools, image resizing and filters. They must create a Magazine Cover with a background of 8.5″ x 11″, where they are the “Cover” story on a Magazine of their choosing or creation. The cover should include a self-protrait, captions and page numbers where the cover story can be found, additional stories that may be found in the edition of the fantasy magazine, edition date and UPC label. Composition, masking, detail, perspective and other basic design technique will be included in the grading. Files must be saves as native .psd and also as a jpg. Students will upload their final piece as a jpg to their ePortfolios to their Digital media page with the assignment order number, and with a detailed assignment description (can be copied and pasted from here) and reflection restating what they did, how they did it, and how they feel about their work.

Reflection: In this assignment we had to make a magazine cover that included a picture of us, 3 stories with their page numbers, and extra stuff. What I did was I took a photo of me from my iPod and I used it. I’m doing woman’s health and fitness for my magazine. I think I did good on this assignment because I put everything I needed to into it and I tried to make it so you could read everything.
