NEA- Website Progression

 

I have been working on my website home page, it is still a work in progress as I need to add more photos and article titles. I created an area where my latest issue will go, my lead stories and a column where I will feature different stories related to a different area of my task bar on the website.  

NEA- Intertextuality

Since I need to include more intertextuality in my photos, I have been doing some research into photos I could recreate as my references. 

For my first model, my shoot was inspired by old Hollywood glamour- Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, so for my front cover image I am going to use this image of Audrey Hepburn to style my model. 

For my second model, the armchair I used looked similar to the one in the Maxell Tapes advert from the 1980s, the model in the chair is from British rock band ‘Bauhaus’ and he is shown in the advert as very stylish. So I will use a shot from this advert to base my photo around. 

NEA- Website designing

 

I created my website, I learnt how to add text and elements to sections. So I have added my magazine title, task bar, search button and subscribe and sign in buttons. I will be moving on to my ‘main stories’ section next.

NEA- initial photos feedback

Feedback

- I have lots of good images but none are the right fit for my front cover photo

- I need to make my intertextuality more clear in my photos, specifically the ones for the front cover 

- Some of the photos are poor quality or have poor lighting 

Next steps

- Reshoot with both models to get front cover images 

- Make sure to include more direct intertextual references in these new photos 

- Reshoot the photos which have poor lighting/ quality 

- Start website and contents pages with existing images
