There are only ever choices.... When choices are made and accepted by a sufficient number of teachers, they

The choices YOU make are all important !

Making a magazine cover / poster1. Go to http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/2. Choose Magazine cover or Movie Poster3. Decide on the cover image, save to your desktop and then upload it to the site.4. Decide on the description / taglines / title etc. for your chosen format, and fill in

the relevant boxes (don’t fill them all in as the poster will look too cluttered.5. Once you are fairly happy, press 6. This will show you the magazine as it looks at the moment. Look at the placement

and colour of the text. Can you see it clearly on the cover.7. Click EDIT COVER (just underneath the image) and you can make those changes.

You can keep doing this as often as you like, but as soon as you press SAVE, the cover will be saved and can’t be changed.

8. Save the image into the folder that your teacher will tell you.9. Get a blank powerpoint slide and paste the image into the middle of the slide.10. Use AUTOSHAPES for arrows and some text boxes to explain your choice of image

and labels.

Don’t forget audience / purpose
