Website progress

 

I have started off with my website by trying to figure out the colour palette and the typography. 

I started on my website design, i used the colour sage green for the background colour which fitted with my logo for the magazine, i want to be able to show that the website and magazine are linked together and are the same. At the very top of the page i began adding the logo, the menu bar, social media links and the search bar. underneath that, i will add the video. At the very bottom, i did the footer. i added a number for the busines/magazine, a email and social media links. 

I got some box's so i can place where i want the images and the text to be for my homepage for a template before adding the image and text. For my homepage i want to have a couple of my magazine and a few articles.

strolling down under the magazine and articles template with the box, i added another box where i want my video to be and under that the core values of my website. 

I went onto my news menu and started placing some boxs where i want the image for my news to be and how many i want. 

i added boxes to the website to plan out where i wanted to added my core values and what values I wanted to add. I also wrote what values that i am wanting to represent in the website. 

I got removed the white box so i could start adding why these are my core values. 

I started adding the photos to my website including making a ranting chart of the best music which includes making a couple of album covers along side making a ranting chart, i wanted to make a tour posted since in my magazine I mentioned in the content pages about tours and the people, i wanted to make a poster with those people so it can have a link back to the magazine. 

I started to add more of my images to the actual website, a few on the home page and a few on the news page too, i also added a line and text so it organised and show what you are expecting next such as the video and the core values, this is to make it clearer of what things are. 

LOGO

 

I have created some different logos, I knew the typography i wanted which was a serif font. A serif is traditional and also very classic which is what i wanted for my logo, because the magazine i am going for a classic country magazine. I tested out different fonts to see which one work best. 

statement of intent

 Monday 1st July 2024.   statement of intent

the main concept is a magazine cover and my genre is a country music. The brief fits into the gerne since the brief says independent publisher. The audience are 16-to25- years olds who are interested in country music, the concept will attract the audience because the brief has to be niche and have a love for country music and are willing to adventure more into the world country especially the classics which is my sub genre. The concept will fit into the core vaules by showing it through images since i want to represent a positive representation of diversity, love, passion and equity. This link to the audience because they might have smilier lifestyle. The mise-en-scene can create intertextuality by the outfits which the audience will able to recognised and know its country, most of the camera work will be mid, low angle shot, the coverline and tagline will mention the classics and famous artist and bands which will create intertexulity. This representation i want to create through the mise-en-scene is stereotype for the clothes for the most part but also want to go against the stereotype in some of my photos, however the layout and editing will go against the stereotype, this will attract the audience because it will be slightly different and i think the target audience will enjoy something new and different. 

I really like how the maverick homepage looks like and i want to do something similar to that but with a different colour palette like an orange, brown red and any natural colours which will fit the style of how my magazine will look as the style and the theme to link together so you can recognised the branding. The heading/bar menu will be at the top, the contact, emails, the publisher will be at the footer of the website whereas the social media links will be at the top with the banner and the menu bar. This will get the audience attention because its teen and young adults which are interested and spend time on social media seeing that the website has social media will get them to interact more. I want my website to be simple but welcoming where the audience will find these that interested them, i want to do that by using lexis in articles and features pages, including the about us page.
