Links

The main links to other web pages involved with the elle magazine are placed underneath the masthead and are more central to the page which indicates the desire for readers to notice these in particular. They are there as it helps to encourage the reader to continue to look through the website and therefore spend more time on the website.

Social Media

The social media links for this website are at the bottom of the page and overlap with the articles as you scroll down. this has been done as it shows that the designer believes social media is a key way to engage the audience and make them feel more involved in the articles and what is happening with the magazine that you would not normally see in the magazine itself.

Logo

By placing the logo at the top left corner of the page shows that the company is aware that people are more interested in the detail rather than the title of the magazine. However, as though logo is still on the page, it shows that the audience is still going to be aware that the website is owned by the magazine.

Logo

The further links for this page are placed in two different places although they are still next to each other. The extra links are placed at the top of the screen and are also in a drop down link near the other links. This makes the website seem more organized and will look more attractive to the reader.
