Choice of programmes:
To create my front cover and contents page, I need to use a selection of computer programmes, showing my ability to use them effectively in my work. For each of my I.T drafts, I will use Desktop Publisher, as this is a useful program to use for setting out the layout of each of my drafts. To edit my chosen photo's, I also needed to select an image manipulation program, from which I shall use Photoshop.
Both Photoshop and DTP will work well together in the overall creation of my college magazine front cover. After editing my photos to make them look more professional, using the range of different tools Photoshop has to offer, I can then easily transer the image onto DTP and continue the creation of my magazine cover by adding text.
