- It is best to have an overall design aesthetic throughout both editions of the magazine as well as on the website
- The best designs had multiple images on the contents page, which included page numbers
- Good to show features of "'cutting-edge' periodicals (e.g. Dazed and Confused)"
- DO NOT use actual magazine contents pages, however using actual magazine contents as place-holders are allowed
- Perhaps it would be good to look into InDesign for handling text - it is suggested Photoshop is not as good
- It is clear when someone has participated in detailed research about magazines in terms of their code and conventions (eg. "assessing the conventional size for text on a contents page"
- Less successful magazines tended to not follow the brief as strictly, meaning parts were missed, and did not adhere to the generic codes and conventions or expectations of the genre
- The front cover image should not be a medium close up or a close up, as there is no focus on the fashion, and instead the model themselves.
- 'Call to action' is good to include, as it pulls attention to the website
- Brief states it is sold to retailers, so BARCODE NEEDED
- Quality of front cover = quality of the contents
- The weakest websites relied heavily on the templates provide on Wix, without personalising them
- Generally, home page was more detailed and stronger overall than the linked pages
- Some of the best work included 'lookbooks', 'make overs' and interviews with 'designers'
