This is the link to my website https://rharrasy.wixsite.com/website

When the website is first opened by the reader , a pop-up automatically appears , asking the reader to subscribe to the magazine and offers exclusive information

This free gift is only enabled if the reader clicks on the 'New Awakening' logo. The hidden Easter egg is used to engage and interact the readers , whilst giving them new and exciting free gifts on the website.

The homepage of the website incorporates the colour palette of yellow and red to match the brand identity. The colours are eye catching and engages the audience.

The homepage contains all the magazines social media sites which relates to cross media convergence  , an option to email us , which takes you straight to your email , a log in bar to effectively allow readers to log in and our of their account and also a language translation tool , which helps readers who speak more than one language.

On this website I have used hashtags and different social media elements to engage the 16-25 year old demographic , as the new and developing use of the internet and technology appeals to them.

The navigation bar allows users to explore the contents of the website much easier , then just scrolling through everything. 

I have included the 'Anchor Menu' throughout the website , so audiences can specifically choose the content they would like to see rather than read through all sections . I believe this is important as this allows users to easily navigate themselves to specific content. This therefore increases the feature of interactivity and a total individualistic element of control for users.

The readers are give the chance to read both issues and content pages , which hopefully makes them feel like they want to buy the full issue.  

I have also included a top news section where readers can click on them to take them to the chosen article on another page.

Here I have included a photo slideshow of three images . One of them advertises the radio show 'Awakening Connection' exclusive to the website. Another image advices the audience tor was the real life stories and the last image highlights how the first issue advices audiences to change their body for the better  . I believe this method is a more interactive way to allow the audience to access the information. 

I have included elements of the first issue , so audiences have an insight into what they are purchasing. Key features of the real life stories , Diet tips , Workout Tips and information on Personal Trainers for any advice.  

Throughout the homepage I have included key aspects of the content audience would aspect from the magazine. For example Mental Health Week content for the Mental Health feature of the website. I believe this is an important way in providing information to the audience. 

As both issues focus on key individuals , I believed that it would be important to include both their stories, which are easily accessible to the audience. By clicking on read more , it takes them to their stories on the linked working pages.

By buying the issue and reading our contents page , the audience can have two chances to win prizes from us on the website. This feature increases audience participation and encourages interaction. Both the prizes are linked to the purpose of the issue . For example the sports edition has a prize of a free workout and diet plan.

The video on the homepage is mainly a summary of the advert both magazines bring . The audience can interact and enjoy the video , rather than just read through all the information.

Both the FAQs and the Tweets increases interaction with the audience , especially by using hashtags the audience become active instead of passive. 

Statement of intent

Product issue 2 update

Front cover

Here I have included all the content of my product but through consideration I have decided to change the layout and main image of my product . I believe the main image should be brighter to correspond with the purpose and real life stories it contains. The masthead is larger and the logo has reduced in size. The colour palette of orange and yellow is clear throughout the cover lines , puff and masthead to reflect my brand identity. 

Contents pages

I decided to change the layout of the entire contents page to due to irregular spaces and font sizes , but I have kept the content the same . Here I have also followed the same colour palette of mainly orange to reflect positivity and my including multiple images of positive images together with the sunset Background , I believe I have succeeded in this . I have also included a call to action where the audience can view the online advert in the website 

Product issue 1 update

front cover

I have decided to keep the main images of the front cover as I believe they carry very powerful connotations . I have decide to change the slogan ' Are you healthy and happy?' to 'Health and Happiness'. I have rearranged the cover lines and have changed the fonts and sizes. I have increased the masthead and reduced the logo . In addition to this I have rearranged the barcode , date , issue number and price tag.

Contents Page

On the contents page I change the whole layout , this was also due to spacing and font problems . I have enlarged the images and have spaced the smaller images of the main background of the dumbbells in a very similar way to the Men's Health contents page. I have included more real life stories and have also included the slogan 'Health and Happiness', so it links with the Magazine and the audience understanding the purpose of the issue.

2nd front cover/contents pages development update

 

I have decided to remove the grey frame at the top of the magazine cover to create more space , which ultimately reduces the cluster of writing on the image. I have also rearranged the structure of the magazine  main image as I believe it is important to include the books and paper on the desk as it symbolises the main real life story. I have also changed the cover lines to relate to other real life stories and included a call to action for the magazine

I have included the Bauer Logo on the contents page have included more real life Stories on the contents page to reflect the overall brief. Also I have included number on the pictures to direct viewers to the content included. 

1st front cover / contents page development update

I have decided to remove the background for the final product as I believe the gym Background with the dumbbells resulted in the cover being too busy and cramped. Therefore the black Background with the red smoke highlights mystery and power , which ultimately reflects the main real life story in the issue. In addition to this I have enlarged the models and minimised the 'New Awakening' logo and moved it to the left. The cover lines had to be changed to reflect the brief , so I included multiple other real life stories , so my real life story magazine does not look like a sports magazine.

Pertaining to the contents page I have edited the editor's note and changed the information included in this month's issue to other multiple real life stories to reflect the media brief
