On the left is a real magazine i found where i think the way the model is positioned and styled looks alike to my model in my magazine. For example in both images the models hair are in ponytails which are put to the left side of their face so that the hair lays over the models shoulder. Also both the models have been dressed in quite plain clothing so that the viewer isn't distracted by it and it doesn't clash with the color palette of the rest of the page. Also the models both have similar amounts of their body in the image, for example there is a similar amount of space above the models head to the top of the page, also it is taken from the waist upwards in both images. Also both the models have dark hair which stands out well against the white backgrounds. 

When creating my magazine i used Adobe Indesign, which is a programme used to create product such as magazines and other printed documents, When using this i learnt many skills including how to use the basic methods such as inserting pictures onto pages, adding text, editing, resizing and manipulating the text, arranging different objects around the page and adjusting color and sizes of various parts of the pages. I also used the internet during designing and making this to research what i should include in my magazine to make sure that it will appeal to the audience i am aiming it at. Also When taking the photos for my magazine i used studio lighting and equipment which made me more experienced with photography and camera angles, shots and lighting. Also when editing my images i used Photoshop, this taught me how to adjust lighting, contrast, brightness, saturation, hue and colors in the images.
