You should now be in the position of having everything planned in relation to your 2 magazine editions.
If you have done this properly it will make the next stage of your planning much easier.
Firstly, you need to consider the requirements of the set brief in relation to your website.
You have to produce two pages for the working website for the magazine; the homepage and one other linked page.
The production of the web pages must include (as a minimum):
- Appropriate conventions of website design, including an original title and logo and a menu bar.
- Text introducing the main features of the magazine.
- Working links from the home page to the other page.
- A minimum of two original images (with at least one different original image on each of the two pages). These images must be different from those produced for the magazine.
- A range of appropriate media language techniques (typography, images, fonts, backgrounds, logos etc.) as appropriate to the purpose of the website.
- Original audio or audio-visual content appropriate to the online website.
For this task you need to show evidence of planning to meet the requirements above.
In particular, focus on planning for the following questions:
1. What will your website header on the homepage look like?
I have included screenshots of the header for FILM STORIES and LITTLE WHITE LIES.
You need to think carefully about this - it will include a masthead and links to other pages plus social media icons.
You only need to have one working linked but the others should still be there.

2. What content will be on your homepage and linked page?
This means text and images. It would be sensible to include things that you have planned for the front cover and contents of the second edition of your magazine. Use this to help you.
Remember that, in relation to images, your website must have a minimum of two original images (with at least one different original image on each of the two pages). These images must be different from those produced for the magazine.
3. What original audio or audio-visual content will be included on your website?
You must include this but what will it be?
Ideas could include:
- an interview with one of the actors/directors featured on your magazine 2nd edition front page
- a 'to camera' welcome to the magazine by the editor in which he'she'they explain what can be found on the website
- something else of your own choice
