In my previous research on magazines I researched in to the regional magazine The Crack magazine which is a North East magazine hitting the target audience for teenagers. When going on the website I found it was very user friendly , something which I would like my website to be like. You dont want a website where the user cant find anything easily.
What I really liked about the website was the links down the left hand side and how they lay under specific headings. EG) the headings were current issue , previews and venue guide. Under current issue had links such as what and wear and horoscopes. Under preview had links to pages such as music , art, film and books, whilst under venue guide was things such as accomodation and bars and pubs. Something else I really liked about the website was the simple layout. On the homepage there was posts set out as if it were a blog with film reviews and pictures. I liked that the colours were consistant throughout the website so it wouldnt get to cramped or confusing for the user. Underneath the title I noticed it had January Issue and I liked that the viewer new what issue of the magazine was available.Once a new issue came out then I imagine they would change this and maybe even the colour scheme. Out of many of the websites I've seen this one was one of my favourites for a regional magazine.

My second website research has came from Crack Magazine which is also a website but based one art and music. When I first went on this website I found it was completely different to my first piece of research . The major difference was colour. The first website being http://www.thecrackmagazine.com/ had masses of amounts of colour featured with greens , pinks and blacks where as http://crackmagazine.net/ was plain with a simple white background and black text . The only colour visible was the ones on the images and even those were simple images.
Another difference was the layout of the website. On the first one there was links down the side where you coul simply find what you were looking for. The other website had each link set out differently. On the top you had links such as Art, About , News and Tickets and once you scrolled down the page then you would see more links but with a picture and text underneath ( like the image above).

This regional magzine Westside which is available in West London is another website I wanted to research after previously research the magazine in my magazine research. Again this website had a completely different layout. The links across the top were similar as there was links such as food and drink , art and style across the top and down the side had links such as competitions and twitter. Something I liked about this website was that they included a little tag line underneath the websites name. Something in which viewers can remember about the website.
The colour scheme again was very plain with just white, black and the odd red. I prefer the first research with the green , blacks and pink colours because as a view it makes me more likely to read it if its more colourful especially as my websites targeted at girls intrested in fashion then the website has to look creative.
