Pictures Picked!

I have chosen the pictures that I am going to use for my preliminary task of creating a school newspaper cover and contents page. I have used Prezi to present these pictures:


I have chosen to use some of these pictures because they all either show, work that students have done, musical instruments that we have in school (which will link to the cover story about arts evening) or students working.

Front Cover
I am going to use the picture of 'Ella playing the drums' on the front page because it links to the story on the cover.When editing the picture using Photoshop, I will cut out everything behind her (on the right side) and everything in front of the drum kit (on the left side). I will keep the background of the rest of the picture because it shows work on notice boards that students have done and it also shows more instruments.

I am going to use the picture of 'Brendon' on the front cover as it is one of the requirements to show a student in mid-shot. This is a good picture to use because it shows a sixth form students working with lower school students in the background. When editing, I will not crop any other picture out, because it does show different years however as the picture is quite dark, I will change edit it to be lighter and easier to see.

Also on the front cover I will use the picture of 'A students artwork' because it links to the cover story and I also think it is an interesting piece of artwork that will appeal to students of all ages. I will edit all of the background out so it is just the black background of the picture.



In the contents page, I am going to use maybe two or three more pictures that will link to the stories/pages mentioned on the contents page.
Contents Page
The first picture I will use in the contents page is a picture of two students working together, called 'Ella and Brendon'. It will have the page number that links to the article, which will be about sixth form

The next picture I will include will be pictures that link with the article about the year 11's recent art trip to the zoo. The picture I will use for this is 'Penguins'. When editing I will cut out the top of the picture.

The third picture I will use in the contents page is 'Prom' as it corresponds with the article about last year's prom/recruiting current year 11s to join the prom committee. I will not change this picture.
