1. Font and colour testing for
my magazine’s website
Brighton On the Beach Magazine
2. Fonts for possible headers
• I have used two different
types of fonts for the main
title and subheading, which
is present on my home
page. I like the black and
white style as it is very easy
to see as it stands out.
• I have used the font
‘Georgia’ as it has a classy
feel to it, and has a quite
old fashioned style.
• The second font is called ‘American Typewriter’ and I feel that this
is a good font to use for this type of
• I feel that these types of fonts work well together, also highlighted
by the black makes the fine style of the font easier to read as it
stands out much more effectively. I feel that it adds to the classy
look of the website.
3. Headers
• I have looked through
the possible titles that
I can choose from for
my website, there is a
large choice available.
I have picked out as
few in which would
work well displayed
on the website which
match my vintage
lifestyle theme.
4. The header
• I have experimented with different
colours and thought that the orange was
the best suited for my portraying my
magazine. I like the orange against this
background and photograph because I
feel that it matches the natural brown
colours present. It also stands out from
the background, and also jumps out at
the reader viewing the page.
5. Fonts for captions/pieces of text
• I have used the font ‘Georgia’ for
my paragraphs because I feel
that it has an outdated kind of
presentation, which would fit
with my vintage theme, and also
is very easy to read and see
against the background as it will
be black on white. I have used a font called ‘American
typewriter’ because I feel that it
portrays a vintage feel to my whole
website. It also compliments my other
typewriter font which I have used
before on this page.
6. Photos and colour scheme
• I will keep the colour scheme and colours
quite colourful, and also making some part
of the website to stand out, where needed.
• I think that I am going to be using some of
my own photography for some of my
backgrounds, in which I will make
transparent so that you can see the other
content such as the writing on the page.
• I will use a lot of blue as the backgrounds
will be based on the beach and I will use a
lot of blue tones to link my magazine with
the sea and the beachy areas of Brighton.
7. Background images I will be using
This is the picture for the main homepage of my
website. It is also going to appear as the front cover
for my magazine as it is quite an iconic structure
which catches the reader's eye as soon as you set
eyes on the page. The colour scheme for this image is
mostly blues and whites, which also contrasts from
the black bold outline of the pier.
I will, be using these pictures for the other pages of my website,
and I am going to make them a little transparent so that you will
be able to see the writing and other information placed on the
website. I have thought about the colour scheme here as they
include very bright array of colours which go well with my
vintage theme.
8. Contact us page
• I have used the text ‘DIN Next Light’
as it is simplistic and it shows the
audience important information
about the magazine. I feel that it
works well with my vintage theme as
it has a kind of a simplified
typewriter kind of look to it.
• I used the font ‘Georgia’ again
because I feel that it fits in with this
page and looks good in a bright pink
colour, giving this page a
professional finish.
