Magazine production

 



I have continued editing my second front cover, adding more cover lines to create convergence between the contents page and the front cover. I have also made the barcode smaller which was recommended to me within my feedback on my first draft.

Footage

 


I have shot some more footage to use on my website. My model is wearing a band t-shirt with The Smiths for intertextuality within my website.

Website production

 

I have edited my promotional section and welcome section on my website to be more visually interesting. I decided to make the text bigger saying 'this issue is here' to attract audience engagement, I have included a picture of the tote bag, which I have made bigger so that it is easier for audiences to see.

I chose to remove the background on the image of Bea as I found it difficult to make the text stand out on the image.

I have also made the masthead bigger at the top of my website.

Website production


I have added to my website, editing an image by adding filters. This will be used in connection with my 30 second audio-visual clip on my website under the 'fashion' tab.
