Researching, Designing and Completing the Task.

To research and to collect some ideas for our magazine we both looked through many magazines and extracted the best parts to put in ours.

While designing our front cover and contents page we used Macromedia Fireworks for the editing of the whole page, Photoshop for the editing of specific photos.

To complete we had to use Fireworks and Photoshop to create the whole magazine.
