Mock up of magazine website


These are examples of how the house style of my magazine can be carried across to the web to maintain identity. This is also an example of the convergence of technology and the on-going debate of whether written media is lagging behind digital media due to our technology filled lifestyles. The rise of digital communication in the late 20th century has made it possible for magazines and news companies to flood the market and gain customers on all fronts, as now more people than ever have access to the internet via computer or smart phone, so people are always connected and with a simple app (Below) a quick download enables you to take the news anywhere you go. Usually the magazine will put in a premium feature on the app or website which for a nominal fee lets you access all of the other features which are in the written copy of the magazine this makes sure that even if sales of magazines are falling they are still making money.
