Overview
When researching on magazines websites, the regional magazine and fashion
magazine websites seemed to be very similar. All the websites had the magazine
logo at the top of the screen to stand out and to create brand awareness.
Websites featured hyperlinks with titles at the top of the page. This helps the
reader to navigate their way around the website and to get what they want to look
at quickly. Titles are often one word or short, to make it quick and easy for the
reader to navigate to different parts of the website.
The difference between the fashion and regional magazine websites is what it
features on the page. The fashion ones are about fashion, beauty and trends and
the regional magazine is more about food and entertainment in the local area.
