Planning for Contents Page As seen in the third image, I recreated the same 'banner' type heading for the contents as seen on my front cover to create a sense of branding; it helps the text to stand out and I also re used this in my 'The Cover Story' section to make key selling parts of the magazine stand out, as seen in images 1 and 2.

A-Level Media Studies:   Analysing a Webpage People Magazine https://people.com/ This website focuses on news about celebrities, the royals, music, TV and ‘real people’. There are several tabs for easy access on the top of the page including ‘news’, ‘entertainment’, ‘shopping’ and ‘PeopleTV’ where the magazine broadens their brand by airing live shows, available to watch on many major platforms such as Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV. With technology advancing this is an effective way for magazines to stay in the loop as well as having their website. These links are advertised underneath this tab. At the bottom of the page, much like many websites there are links to their social medias to again broaden their brand and reach individuals who use apps such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook as their main form of news and communication. During a 2019 survey, more than 70 percent of respondents from Mexico, South Africa, Chile, and Bulgaria stated that they used social media as a s
