Before making a small change: The text for the welcoming of Life, likely would have been fine underneath the screenshot of the magazine say that it was for later issues and wasn't a brand new magazine. But where the magazine is a brand new real-life magazine, it makes more sense for it to be placed elsewhere and be the first thing you see.  My Magazine Website completed: When opening the website you see a little bit of text welcoming and introducing you to my magazine which let's you know about the magazine and it's aims.  Then further down on the homepage I decided to include stories which are featured on the covers of the issues created, this is not typical for a real life magazine, however something more was needed since there are only 2 issues of Life compared to many other real life magazines websites which feature multiple covers for many issues. I not only included the stories, I included yet again the front covers of my magazine to help promote the magazine by makin...

Wednesday 12th May 2021 Research: Codes and Conventions L/O: To analyse similar products. Magazine Analysis: Two covers and two contents pages for:  Genre codes and conventions - content & layout How house style is established /use of font/colour/images Representation - magazine & artists  Ideology Production Values TA appeals/links Cover 1: Real life magazines use very bold and bright colours, despite the cover lines that feature on their covers.
