How To Design Your Content Marketing Hub
Check out the blog post on the importance of building your content marketing destination:
http://marketinginsidergroup.com/content-marketing/content-marketing-destination/
A content hub is a valuable way of interacting with your customers and connecting them with information, ideas, images, and stories. Once you have this content to pass along, you need a place to house it all. Somewhere that is capable of handling a constant feed of new content, from a variety of sources, covering a variety of topics, while still looking aesthetically pleasing and functioning so well that a customer will want to spend hours browsing what it has to offer.
This isn’t an easy task, but one that will be simplified and attainable after reading this guide. The guide is split into four sections, two dealing with your main hub page and two dealing with your specific article page. For both page types the guide is split into a form and function section. Form being your most basic layout, the pieces you need for the page and how to handle them stylistically. Function guides you through how a user will experience each page and the added elements to help improve this experience.
Each suggestion is analyzed on its own page and is accompanied by a screenshot of a site that demonstrates the topic. If you want to explore the entirety of the site, you can click the magnifying glass in the upper left corner of the screenshot on each example page to launch the full site on your browser.

I also challenged conventions from INDIE magazine by manipulating features and making it more focused. For my website, I was inspired by The Crack's navigation bar, pinboard layout, and social media inclusion. But I developed the design to be more contemporary and regional than The Crack or INDIE by adding my own features and imagery. Throughout

Region colour a
This document analyzes the colors associated with three major cities in the North East region of England - Sunderland, Newcastle, and Durham - in order to determine a color scheme that represents the region for a magazine. Sunderland is linked to the colors red, white, and black due to its football team. Newcastle is also associated with black and white from its football team, along with blue and grey. Durham's cricket team colors are blue, yellow, and white, and Google image searches of Durham show blues and greens due to nature scenes. Based on this research, the colors black, white, grey, blue, and red will be combined to create an overall regional color scheme for the magazine.
Male costume ideas
Male models will wear sporty, active wear including tracksuits or shorts to depict what athletes would typically wear. Trainers or sport-specific footwear will be worn. Optional jackets may be included if a specific team is being represented, but they are not essential to the costumes.
Survey results
The survey results show that:
- The majority (55.17%) of respondents were aged 41+ followed by 32-36 (10.34%)
- Most respondents (79.31%) never buy magazines
- The most popular expected price points for a regional magazine were £1 (27.59%) and £2 (31.03%)
- Articles (37.93%) and adverts (24.14%) were the most preferred magazine features
Lighting
The document discusses various lighting techniques used in photography. Key lighting is used to highlight the main subject and is usually part of a three point setup. Fill lighting is added at a different angle to reduce shadows around the subject. Back lighting illuminates the subject from behind. Three point lighting involves key, fill, and back lighting to produce a professional image without shadows on the face. High key lighting uses a single bright light, while low key lighting uses a low angle fill light to create shadows and contrast. Artificial lighting comes from sources like bulbs, while natural lighting can be manipulated based on the sun's position.
Billboard
The document outlines several conventions commonly used in billboard design including:
- Using a large, bold masthead at the top to identify the product or brand.
- Employing bright, complementary colors that attract attention and link to the brand.
- Including a catchy strapline or slogan below the masthead that briefly summarizes the message.
- Providing essential contact details like a web address at the bottom.
- Centering a unique, creative image that dominates the page without clashing with the text.
- Positioning text at the top and bottom around the central image.
Front cover generic conventions
This document outlines various conventions for designing magazine front covers, including:
- Using a masthead that is unique, iconic, and positioned in the top third of the page.
- Including a strapline that briefly summarizes the magazine's genre or region.
- Featuring a dominant central image that represents the magazine's content and draws attention.
- Establishing a consistent color scheme that identifies the magazine's brand and appeals to its audience.
- Incorporating sell lines of varying sizes to highlight key stories and intrigue readers.
- Including essential identifying information like issue numbers and barcodes.
Contents page
The document discusses conventions for designing the contents page of a magazine. It provides guidance on elements like the masthead, images, color scheme, text/list of contents, contact information, and layout. Key recommendations include using a white background, organizing content by category or genre, bolding main headings, and including page numbers. The language should be informal, humorous, and appeal to the target audience. Images are to direct readers to specific pages and include photo credits.
Double page spread
This document outlines common conventions used in double page magazine spreads. These include using a short, intriguing headline; pull quotes from interviews or articles; large dominant images related to the topic; a stand first paragraph to introduce the topic; informal, audience-appropriate language; and multiple columns of text with mini cliffhangers between them. Other conventions are drop caps, bylines, endstops, and an essential information banner at the bottom of the page. The document notes which of these conventions will be included and how some may be challenged in a regional magazine seeking a modern, personalized style.
Regional genre research
The document discusses different magazine genres and subgenres that could be suitable for a regional magazine in the North East of England. It analyzes genres like music, fashion, culture/lifestyle and determines that a sports magazine would be the best fit. A sports magazine could incorporate subgenres like football and cricket which are popular in the region. It would fill a gap, as there are currently limited regional sports magazines for the North East. The conclusion is that a sports magazine focusing on local teams would attract the biggest audience while keeping content relevant to the region.
Presentation1
Megan Sheraton is creating a reader profile for their regional magazine to help tailor content to their audience and attract advertisers. They researched definitions of reader profiles and found they are used to provide demographic information about a company's users or content creator's target audience. Megan analyzed example profiles from magazines like NME, Q Magazine, and Kerrang! to get ideas. NME's profile portrayed their readers as young music lovers and included statistics on gender, education, and interests collected from surveys. Q Magazine's profile focused more on statistics than reader interests. Kerrang!'s simpler profile included price, coverage details, and statistics on readers' age, gender, and hobbies. Megan plans to include relevant images
