Magazine Website Mock-Ups

 

My website will follow the same house style/theme as the covers and contents pages, i.e. using the same fonts for the masthead and main text in order to create a uniform style recognisable to audiences. It will include a subscription pop button/pop-up, social media links, a contact information button, the option to change languages, and a contents navigation bar with multiple genres such as music and art, as well as pages for photos and interviews, and many other features. This maintains the magazine's theme of passions and hobbies, having stories and interviews with multiple people whose careers are hobbies, or hobbies are careers, etc. 

The main page will feature the top stories from the most recent and/or popular interviews and articles with the images being different shapes and sizes, and as you scroll down there will also be stories from all the different genres listed in the navigation bar. I've tried to make the home page modern, simplistic and clean, by having a 4 story grid for the regular articles. 

Whilst each cover and contents page will vary in colour scheme in each issue, I have decided to make all the text on the website black, with the top banner having the same pattern and colour as one of my covers. This creates a modern and sleek feel whilst adding a pop of colour that connotes sophistication, new beginnings and growth, as well as stability and energy. I will also be using the same font for my contents headings for my website headings, i.e. "top stories". This creates a clear link between my cover, contents page, and website, as well as adding personality and uniqueness.
