Research Task Seven asked you to undertake research into the website for The Wire independent music magazine.
Research Task Eight now asks you to repeat this but for further independent music magazine websites.
I have pasted links to a selection of these below for you to use.
The purpose of this task is, again, to consider if there are any typical codes and conventions for independent music magazine websites.
Task
1. Visit one of the independent music magazine websites listed below.
2. Work your way through the homepage of each magazine's website. How is the website's homepage set out and what can a visitor to the website find?
Take some screen shots of the homepage and add these to a Powerpoint. Make some notes around the images setting out your observations about the way that the homepage is set out and what can be found by visiting it.
Make sure that you use at least 2 images for each website in the same way as you should have done for The Wire; one of the top of the page (usually including the masthead and hyperlinks to other sections of the website) and one from further down the homepage.
3. Repeat for a second website listed below.
Extension Task
4. Repeat for a third website listed below
