Planning the web pages





Initially, I have started with a 4 colour scheme the website of my magazine which is purple, blue, white and black (excluding the yellow borders on the buttons). I decided to choose that because I felt that those 4 colours contrast with one another and the colours will attract the target audience. The models on the home page have buttons underneath them that are linked to different pages of the website. There is a subscription box so that the users of the website can receive a monthly dose of the magazine. I decided to add a row of social media on the header of the website so that the audience will get transferred to the different profiles of the brand Outburst.

Wix Site

Here is the link to the Outburst website: https://nicholask10.wixsite.com/outburst

Only the "Home" and "About" pages work in the navigation bar

Also the link "Read More" works underneath the title "About Outburst: How it revolutionised magazines!" and this leads to the "About" page

Case Studies



Both of these magazines will be used as my inspiration to help produce my magazine. For the cover page, the masthead needs to be clear and bold and it can be placed anywhere on the page however it is convenient to place it at the top of the page and aligned to the centre. It is a must for my models to have a direct address towards to audience as it will grab their attention. Both of the magazines have a two colour scheme on their front covers however i'll be using 3 colours instead because using two colours is very limited which will make the text colours repetitive and dull. Furthermore, for the contents page, I'll need to add columns to write my contents list on a white background for the magazine to gain that sophisticated look. The issue month needs to be visible with headings to categorise articles (for example fashion) and unlike the example above, I'll include two pictures on each content page so that there is more to look at for the audience. The colour for the headings are determined by the primary colours that was used for the content page. Different colored fonts are used for the different issues.
