12/12/25 - Final Website

 Final website: https://19-lgil.wixsite.com/elitemagazine

Please view my website on a Mac.

My two pages are "Fashion" and "Beauty".

In case of any glitches or formatting issues due to the website being viewed on different devices, here are screenshots with analysis of how each page is meant to look, plus easter eggs.

FASHION:

Page opens with a pop up "Call to Action" which encourages fans to sign up for more exclusive content.

 

Page includes a slideshow of photography of a different selection of models. Advert featured at the top includes a "View More" button, which links to the full advert on the beauty page.

Below the slideshow is a "Top Stories" section, featuring a main story from each of my models.

There is also another call to action with the "Join the Elite Club" section, which encourages fans to subscribe for additional content. The text "The Top Autumnal Essentials of 2025" links to the related article later on the page.

Below the main stories is a featured article of a model caught on a paparazzi walk, an interesting feature here is that the image changes every 3 seconds as a slideshow element so it looks like a stop motion of my model walking and being caught by paparazzi.

Below are these images:

12/12/25 - Final Products

 

Here are my final front covers and contents pages.

Below is an analysis of my work and things to consider in terms of references and intertextuality:

EDITION 1:

MY main model for my first edition is a musician about to embark on a worldwide tour. His article focuses on his personal style and tour fashion.

INTERTEXUAL REFERENCE: The headline "STYLE & DRAMA & ROCK AND ROLL" is a reference to the famous rock song "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" by Ian Dury.

INTERTEXUALITY IN CONTENTS ARTICLES:

"18 - Oh! You Pretty Things: The 70s Is Coming Back" - reference to famous David Bowie song, "Oh! You Pretty Things"

DIGITAL CONVERGENCE:

CALL TO ACTION in Editor's Letter: "We are also hosting a competition on our website"... "Post a TikTok with the hashtag elite magazine" encourages audiences to get involved and create an online buzz and community around the magazine in order to win prizes.

Bottom left corner of left page: "See more at: www.elitemagazine.com" encourages audiences to visit the website.

EDITION 2:

My main model for my first edition is an actress who recently starred in a film about masculinity, femininity and the treatment of women in the workplace. Because of this, my model's article focuses on "Redefining Femininity" and what it means to her. In the magazine, she wears masculine clothing.

INTERTEXTUAL REFERENCE: This is a reference to the movie Annie Hall, in which Diane Keaton wears masculine clothing and suits. I tried to emulate her famous costumes in the clothes my model wears in this edition.

INTERTEXUALITY IN CONTENTS ARTICLES:

"23 - Miley Cyrus' 7 Things in her bag!" Reference to Cyrus' famous song 7 Things

"40 - Is There Life on Mars? Exploring Katy Perry's Space Suit" Reference to Katy Perry's adventures in space and David Bowie's famous song Life on Mars

DIGITAL CONVERGENCE:

Bottom left corner of the right page includes text: "Join the ELITE club for more exclusive content: www.elitemagazine.com".

This encourages audiences to visit the website and interact.

Editors letter references the last one, by saying "Thank you for sending TikTok submissions!" as the last one called for.

9/12/25 - Featured Article

 Today, I added a featured article on my fashion page of a supermodel spotted in the streets of London in a new outfit.

I also added a slideshow, deleted the transitions and changed the slide speed to 3 seconds (the quickest it moves) and placed the photos I took of my model walking in order, so it flicks between the model walking, creating a stop-motion effect.

8/12/25 - Beauty Page

 Today, I worked on the main section of my beauty page. In order to make the page feel more interactive, I turned each of the "articles" into buttons, so that the image changed when it was hovered over. I have this same feature on my fashion page at the bottom.
