Contents Page: Intertextuality


 On my contents page, i decided to create intertextuality with the recent live 25 oasis tour. I did this by having my model wear a shirt from the tours merch and wrote a cover story 

line about the event and the subsecuentes effects on fashion    

Website: Footer Design

I updated my footer, and I decided to emulate the Vogue footer to ensure my website maintained a high end conde nast feel
 

Website: Articles Introducing Cover Stars


 I andes the articules that introduce the two main people on my covers. Ive used photos that i think represent the stories they tell in the article and show a different side of the representation in the covers, while still keeping in with the themes 

Website: Opening Page Update

 

I updated my opening page to this. I decided to dad all the photos from the Photoshoots i didn’t end up using for my front cover. I did this to dad some interest to the page and aesthetic elements, but also because i found that most Vogue magazines will have an element that shows the different photos that they had as options for the front cover, and thought this feature was reminiscent of that.

Adverts on Website

To increase the verisimilitude of my website I thought id add in adverts. I thought this would also help to demonstrate audience specific aspects as the adverts I add will be specific to the audience profile I have.

I decided to replicate the style in which adverts are commonly displayed in magazine websites 


this is the advert I added. it is for a jewellery brand that does interesting and unique jewellery for a fairly reasonable price that was be achievable for 16-25 year olds but also appeal to the type f audience my magazine is for.
 

Website Layout Improvements

I looked at the Vogue website to replicate certain aspects to increase the verisimilitude of my wesbsite.


 
I liked this-art of the website, as the format I think was effective as it means viewers can see short summaries of articles and pick whichever one they like the look of 




Here is where I did a similar thing. I altered it slightly and added my front covers on the left hand side. I did this as a way to add links between the covers and the website

Website: article additions

 


Today, i took inspiration from the vogue website. I really liked the article headlines and the soundbites used to give readers an overview without having to read the entire thing. With this being said, still inviting people to read on to find more detail. I thought this element was really good for audience captivating as it works for those who are too busy and just want a brief rundown on the recent stories, and also those who are browsing finding the article that interests them the most. I thought each element would apply to the lower sixteen year old age range and the higher twenty-five year old age range respectively. I think this makes it look authentic and also helpful for audiences.

website: playlist element

 Ive added to my website today.

I think the addition of interactive elements will be beneficial 

I used the 'reach out' pun to make all elements cohesive. I think this in particular would go down well with the younger audience

Website Drafts

 

I was drafting what I wanted my appearance of my website to be. here I've gone for a more clean and plain look, I thought this would work well for the Conde Nast element of our brief. I am thinking of doing more interactive and colourful elements to fit the 16 - 25 audience better.


in addition, I decided to make a logo for the brand. I thought this would help me add brand identity throughout all elements of my NEA. I used the same font as my masthead on my magazine to help emphasise this.

Magazine Cover Inso and what Im using

 I was taking some inspiration from "The Rolling Stone" magazine. although it's not Conde Nast, I think the inclusion of some elements of it will appeal to the younger audience of 16-25.





What I would take from this cover: 

I like the use of the name and then a slogan to go with it

I really liked the layout of text, with the name down in the corner instead of in the middle that's more typical 

the puff in the top corner I really liked aswell 



What I would take from this cover: 

the outline around the cover is nice to frame

and again the use of a slogan 



What I would take from this cover: 

I like the use of the top of the page for a cover line to separate they key stories 

again, I really like the slogan with the name

Drafting Front Cover

 



I started with this draft front cover. 

I had used photoshop to brighten up the photo and used a script font for her name to make it seem like her professional signature 




I later changed this to a font like the one from the law series "suits"

I found this cool and trendy with intertextuality to 90s hiphop fashion

I thought this looked quite realistic and high quality

 Magazine Ideas (2nd cover and spread)


 Industrial Research 

Condé Nast:

  • Highly visual, digital-first content (Instagram, TikTok, video).
Keep attention - especially with a younger audience who will reach for magazines far less. 
Easily digestable and helpful information that is easily applicable to their life
  • Blending of fashion, music, and culture, not just style alone
  • Emphasis on inclusivity, self-expression, and sustainability.
  • Experiential elements (events, collaborations, reader engagement).
  • Shoppable content to integrate style and retail seamlessly

Magazine Audience Profile

 Audience Profile:


16–25-year-olds from a middle-up market background who are style focused:


  • - 16–25-year-olds are Instagram focused


    • - Effort into stories (what music to go with it, what their outfit is like, what location they are in- interest in London)  


    - People are very proud of their music and style and want to show if off on things like Instagram. Including locations in London (somewhere all readers will all know and potentially have access to)  

  • Social Media Focused – Instagram is a platform, where they curate their personal brand through fashion, music, and location choices. Stories and posts are carefully planned, often featuring trendy London spots. TikTok and Pinterest also influence their aesthetic choices.

  • Style & Fashion – They are trend-aware but individualistic, blending designer, high-street, and vintage/thrifted fashion. With a focus on statement pieces and carefully styled accessories.

  • Cultural Interests – Music plays a big role in their identity, and they are drawn to fashion, art, and underground music scenes. They frequent aesthetic locations in London (Shoreditch, Soho, Southbank, Notting Hill) and are part of the coffee culture, rooftop bar, and creative space scene.

  • Mindset & Aspirations – They are aspirational but relatable, valuing authenticity and creative expression. Many have side projects like content creation, small fashion brands, or music blogging. They are also sustainability-conscious, with a growing interest in ethical fashion and second-hand shopping.
