Mood Board


I have used a range of different photos to highlight the style of my magazine, but also about what is going on in the world currently.
The two main stories happening now (May/june 2020) is the Coronavirus/global pandemic and also the black lives matter protests happening in London and the USA. 
My two magazine front covers will possibly have two different colour schemes, with one being black and white to show the black lives matter protests. This will create diversity for my magazine brand and i can use different types of images to show this as well. 
The style of my magazine will be more of a 'vogue' feel or the Week, which uses a lot of editing in the main images.
These images conform to the expectations of a entertainment magazine because its colourful and also i want to include different stories across my magazines. I am going to use original and modern fonts for my masthead, head lines, copy etc to match with other magazines.

Current affairs magazine genre

Image
A current affair magazine is a magazine that discusses political and cultural topics from a progressive perspective. It can be published in print and online, and supplemented by a podcast. Since the early 2000's, people have becoming more and more interested in the current affairs happening in the world. This has led to a growth in new magazines producing current affair content. By taking a longer view and by devoting more time and space to key events, current affairs magazines can help readers marshal their thoughts and shape them. They are premium magazines, meaning they are accurate, meaningful and deep.  Current affairs magazines appear to be in an increasing climate. The New Statesman, Private Eye, Prospect, the Spectator and the Week all enjoyed a spike in sales, according to ABC figures.

Process of creating webpages

Image
  I started off by creating an account on Wix and choosing a template i thought was appropiate for my current affairs magazine website: I played around with the layout, images, fonts, text and boxes so i could get used to it and that i would be comfortable changing it to my own house style etc. I began to take original images for my website, including a black lives matter post, a Corona vaccine image etc so i had some articles for my audience to read. After publishing a few articles, i began my audio content by doing an interview with Heather Crosbie about the environment which i included on my home page. I chose a grey- white and red colour scheme for my website, as it looks professional, fresh and is the similar house style as my contents pages. I also added a CoronaVirus Snapshot to match the conventions of other websites such as Time. My articles included The Environement, NHS and Coronavirus and Black Lives Matter as they are my main current affair topics. Main Masthead on Hom...
