Welcome to My Media blog

In this blog, I will be explaining how and why I created my A2 Media Coursework, showing some research and screenshots from the design phase.
This will be justified with my initial ideas and inspirations from other newspapers, as well as feed back from peers and a self evaluation of my work.

Creating the Linked Page of the Website

The linked page of the website is relatively easy to create as the template of the page itself has already been created, as it is the same as the the home page. This page will be the linked page from the button 'Top Stories', and will include a story from the newspaper. I have chosen to do the fashion story for my linked page, as I have already written the large amount of text for the story, and it would be the same text as in the newspaper itself.



As you can see I started by adding the headline and photos which were the same as the print version of the story. I placed them where I felt appropriate and where I knew it would leave enough space available for the text of the story itself.I also added an extra button to this page, which enables the viewer to navigate back to the page they were previously viewing. This also works as a rollover and changes colour when the mouse hits it, like so-


The page started to look like this once I had started to add the story itself, which conveniently fitted into the space perfectly.
I liked how the page looked as it was exactly what I aimed for, to look just like an online newspaper, and show key similarities to a print paper, which it does. I continued to tweak the layout and tried some other font styles but settles for this one in the end, and my web page looked like this-
The home button linked directly back to the home web page, as well as the 'back to previous page' button.
