Billboard Draft 2

End of February Update Post

This month I feel that I have made a lot of progress with my magazine, I have completed drafts of my front cover and contents page, a feature page surround fashion and a feature page surrounding beauty. I have also began and almost completed the production of my website and have a first draft of my billboard. From this I need to analyze and get feedback to help me mark any weaknesses with my products. I feel that I have become more creative over the past month and have tried new and different color schemes etc to make my piece more creative. My weaknesses have been time management because I have struggled to meet deadlines that I set myself, this is something I aim to improve. Below is a rough plan of my next 4 deadlines;

DRAFT 1 OF FEATURE PAGE

WEBSITE UPDATE (SUNDAY 15TH FEBRUARY)

HOME PAGE-

For this I removed the mood board background and replaced it with a simplistic image which also incorporated the burgundy coloring of the main writing.

HIGH STREET EDIT-

For this I changed the 'jewelry' section to a 'beauty' section, added an image I had taken over Christmas as the main imagine and changed the button so the coloring was a better fit and was more prominent on the page.  

FASHION PAGE-

I took the font from my sell-lines on the front cover of the magazine for this section along with images of clothing that I had recently taken. 

BEAUTY PAGE- 

This is my finished beauty page, it incorporated beauty products such as makeup, accessories and jewelry such as heels and rings and other elements such as nail varnish styles, eye shadow tutorials etc.

East Coast Monthly Video

When looking at inspiration on competitors websites I noticed that many of them had become more interactive by posting you tube videos of promotions for the latest editions of the magazines or updates on breaking fashion stories etc. Because of this, I decided to become more interactive with my website by creating a video using I-movie. It shows what is available in the magazine and online in a quick, easy and fun way.
