Website Footer

I have decided to add a bar of text at the bottom of my website as my lecturer suggested.  I am going to base mine on the one used for 'The Crack' magazine website.

Masthead Ideas

My masthead will follow the convention of regional magazines by being placed in the left hand corner.  The image will not go over it as this is more common in established national magazines.  These are the ideas that I have in mind at the moment.  They blend a serious tone with a positive one.

Research into Institutional Logos

I have researched media publishing institution and presented my findings in a Prezi.  The link to this is here: https://prezi.com/xvcxskjwvqz1/institution-research/

Future Publishing would be the most suitable institution to distribute my magazine as their portfolio includes magazines such as 'Total Film' and 'Digital Camera' which are areas of my product.  My magazine is on film but in terms of film making, photography plays a part in it.  This makes Future Publishing highly applicable to my work.

Generic Conventions

In this post, I will discuss how I will follow and challenge conventions of regional magazines, billboards and magazine websites.  This is useful as it allows me to see what things it would be wise to follow for my products.  I have done this on PowerPoint.

Competing with other Products

I have conducted this task on 'Powtoon'.





Overall, the main competition would probably come from 'The Crack' as it features sections on art, food and drink and books, giving it more on offer to readers.  My magazine will be preferred by film enthusiasts however as it goes into depth instead of including different sections.

Comparison of a National and Regional Magazine

I have gathered an image of a cover from a national magazine and a regional magazine and I am going to compare them.  This task will enable me to make my magazine suitable for regional sale.
