Wix Website - Link Page

 

The link page (Entertainment) of my website also follows the colour scheme of my magazine product - purple and yellow, however. It needs a lot more images - if I was not in quarantine I would have gotten more images for the three main stories within this category. 

I have also included a sub-page, that also needs more images for the stories, same as on the homepage and on the Entertainment story.

To maintain the brand identity of my media products (through the magazine pages and the website), I designed the brand logo of a star shape with a large, purple "V" in the center, along with the brand slogan written in a curve beneath the star. Although I could not use the exact same fonts, I used similar fonts such as Helvetica and Robotico.

Wix Website - Homepage

Home | CAPSULE (brockhouse-watersf.wixsite.com)

The homepage of my website follows the colour scheme of my magazine product - purple and yellow, however. It needs a lot more images - if I was not in quarantine I would have gotten more images of people for the"Weekly Stars" and for the other stories included on my website. I also need to add my audio-visual to the top right corner of the website.

Magazine Exports - Issue 2

 

Similarly to the front page of Issue 1, I have 5 photographs that have all been edited to represent different social groups and issues. I have used a range of fonts such as Accord SF; Basic Sans Heavy SF; and Andre Light SF. I have included a masthead with a slogan "Vital! Vital Living for You", buzzwords "Bumper Pack!!", a price tag, a barcode and the website that people would use to read online or subscribe to the brand.

To attempt to solve the issue of white space on the cover, I have also included background colours/shapes that follow the brand colour scheme (purple, and yellow) and they also link to the mast head. The main background colour is a light shade of purple while the bottom band includes a light shade of yellow with oval shapes - these link with the mast head and the star shapes.

I have done the same for the Contents page of Issue 2 as I have for Issue 1 - light shade of purple for the background to link with the masthead and a light shade of yellow for the title to link with the background colour of my website and to link with the star shape. I have also outlined the smaller stars with a shade of purple so they contrast the background.

However, as Issue 2 is a 'bumper pack', I have included more content (such as their own version of the MBTI personality test) and more stories. I have also included an editors' note, social media links and call-to-action as well as specified stories for the different topics I intend to cover through my products.

Magazine Exports - Issue 1

 

For the front cover of Issue 1, I have 6 photographs that have all been edited to represent different social groups and issues. I have used a range of fonts such as Accord SF; Basic Sans Heavy SF; and Andre Light SF. I have included a masthead with a slogan "Vital! Vital Living for You", buzzwords "NEW!!", a price tag, a barcode and the website that people would use to read online or subscribe to the brand.

To attempt to solve the issue of white space on the cover, I have also included background colours/shapes that follow the brand colour scheme (purple, and yellow) and they also link to the mast head. The main background colour is a light shade of purple while the bottom band includes a light shade of yellow with oval shapes - these link with the mast head and the star shapes. However the bottom band seems to clash too much with the purple colour, in the future, I could improve this by making the purple a lighter shade.

For the contents pages of Issue 1, I have filled the background in with a shade of purple that links with the masthead while the background of the page title matches/is similar to the background of my website to further show brand identity with the media products. I have outlined the story columns with contrasting colours and filled them with white to make it easier to read and more interesting to look at. There are social media links, call-to-action (subscribe information noted in another page), and distributor information included for the readers to follow, read etc.

I have also included a range of photographs linked to other stories or the same stories from the front cover; as well as other content for the readers to enjoy - 'The Weekly Stars'
