Home page:

Style page: 

Shop section:

-Pages to be marked: ('Home', 'Style'); there are also some elements in the 'Shop' section if the advertisements for high-end brands are clicked 

-Links to the 'Style' page (the 'Show more' button for the top article in the 'Top Stories' section, the 'Watch' button, the 'Next page' button)

-Intertextuality: 'To All the Boys I Loved Before'- with 'All the Readers' and the envelope Easter Egg (if the envelope is clicked, the readers win a free poster)- this romantic comedy will most likely appeal to a 16-25 year-old audience 

Interactive elements: 'Design a Met Gala outfit' competition, 'Recreate an iconic makeup look' competition (all prizes for the competition are high-end brands), an Instagram challenge, references to the magazine's social media pages- including the Damsel Tik Tok page, a 'contact us' section, option to subscribe and purchase monthly print and online copies- plus a free tote bag, can move the pictures from the Megan Mill's photoshoot

Important things to note: Hover over images underneath the 'This Week' and 'Must See' section and information about the article appears, hover over the CU underneath the competition section and the image changes

Final edits to my NEA

 8/12/2025- I decided to make the actor/model's names bigger as they are the main aspect of the front cover. I also added elements to my website; after looking at the Vogue website, I added articles of a similar style and layout.

1-5/12/2025

This week I edited the cover lines on my front covers, trying to mimic the style of Vogue and Vanity Fair (added a 'plus' element, and made my barcode and price elements smaller). 

The Vanity Fair front cover includes a 'Plus' section, and all
use condensed cover lines on one side of the page. 

NEA progress after feedback

 3/11/2025-19/11/2025

I have been working on making the changes to both my cover sheets, front pages and website. I added more text to the editors letter, took some more pictures to add more variation, and adapted the layout of some of my photos. 

24/11/2025- Today I made edits to my blog, by adding article features, collaborations with high-end brands, references to an Instagram trend

Feedback for first draft

 

Action plan:

Extend editors letter 

Adapt bar code 

Take some more pictures for content pages 

Add overlay to video once edited 

Edit layout on first front cover 

Change insta pictures so that they are the same format 

More promotion of website on content pages
