Mock-up website of my magazine and music magazine 'app'


Here is a mock-up of my magazine's website which I produced at home. It was difficult to find a method in which to produce one, but I managed to find a site called webnode which allows you to make one for free. I choose a template relevant to the housestyle (red, black and yellow)  There are a lot of improvements to be made to the website. But this is a very quick draft of what the website could look like. But for now, this will do as just a basic accurate idea.


Here is a quick digital mock-up of the application for my media magazine. There wasn't much thought that went into the name of it, so that could be improved. It would be avaliable on iTunes for the audience to purchase and read instead of having to go out and buy it.




Here is two goanimate videos talking about the relationship between my print magazine and my website

Music magazine - Contents page drafts


My first installment of feedback was quite negative. I was told to include more thumbnail images, scale down the editor's picture. Also, the main image was quite stretched and it needed to be different altogether for anchorage. Finally the text was quite large and there wasn't enough detail on my articles.

I was pretty much told the same again, I was having difficulty with editing issues.
My feedback was more positive this time. I was told that the editor's note was ok and the main image was not stretched. I was also told that I could use more thumbnail images. The contents on my articles still lacked detail too.

My feedback for this draft was positive too. I was told that the thumbnail images are suitable and that I could possibly use some more photoshop editing skills to make my main image look more attractive. I was told to maybe alter the masthead title text as it wasn't that visibly appealing, even though it fits the genre.
For my final feedback, there was a lot of positivity. I was told that my contents had more detail and that it gives my target audience more of an idea what the subject is about and that the white border behind the text made it look more organised and made the text look more readable.
