Wednesday 10th May 2023
Research:
L/O - To research codes & conventions of similar products
1) They include fitness techniques, what workouts are best for teens, why exercise is good for you, symptoms of compulsive exercise, a search bar to find health centres near you (input your zip code/city).
2) People walking their dogs, people having fun working out.
3) They use quite vibrant colours like orange, blue & green
4) The logo is quite big and is in the top left, it uses a cute font and has little bubbles trailing of it, I'm not sure how it links.
5) There are 6 pages and they are, Sex, pregnancy & STDS, relationships, health & wellness, LGBTQ+, For adults & news & resources.
6) Things to help you lose weight and about eating disorders.
7) The logo is in bold and quite a cute font, all the information is in a small sized font and is a normal font (probably easier to read), all the titles are a large sized text and also a basic font.
8) They all have the logo in the top left of each page, they all stick to the same colour scheme, the logo also has its own animation for each page (it takes a few seconds to fade in each time),
9) All the linked pages are at the top right of the screen they all have a normal font
10) They typically use 1 - 2 images in their linked pages, they tend to use it as a background image for some text (see below for example)
11) On the text for the background image its quite big and in bold to tell you what this page will be talking about
12) Its organised in paragraphs with large titles at the top, more links to other pages to help with certain issues (relationship troubles, mental health, eating disorders, etc).
Wednesday 7th June 2023
1) Website conventions are patterns that will help people navigate websites.
2) The homepage is the screen you are greeted with when you click on the website and the linked pages are pages that you click on and it takes you to a completely different website, the websites are linked because the linked page is linked to the homepage so you can only access the linked page if you are on the homepage.
3) They discuss exams and how to deal with stress during exam season, which is linking to the target audience as the website is for teens specifically.
4) The logo is a plain black background with white text emblazoning 'Health For Teens', the website does not have a slogan as far as I can tell, the colour scheme is black, purple, pink and a cyan colour. The colour scheme and logo link to each other as the logo is the same colour as the background for the home screen
5) For their logo they used quite a large sized sans serif font, for pretty much everything they all have a sans serif font. For the linked pages they have a smaller sans serif font.
6) The target audience is teenagers so roughly 14 - 18 year olds. It appeals to them as on their homepage they talk about exam stress, mental health and more things that teens are likely to struggle or need help with.
7) The images mainly show people studying, relaxing and more.
8) The videos talk about stress and mental health, and talking about how to keep yourself healthy during exam season.
Website 2
1) Website conventions are patterns that will help people navigate websites.
2) The homepage is the first screen you see when you click on a website whereas a linked page is somewhere you are able to get to from the homepage.
3) They show you hiking bags, yoga routines, workouts and more. This links to the target audience as the target audience is all adults and adults want to know where to go to do yoga, etc.
4) The logo is the words 'very well fit' and the word 'fit' is in a yellow box, the slogan is 'Know more, be healthier' The colour scheme is mainly white and yellow with black text which is themed off the logo as the logo is exactly those colours.
5) For the logo its also a large sans serif font and all the little text boxes around are also in sans serif, the large titles for the text boxes are all in bold whereas the text underneath is not in bold.
6) The target audience is adults so probably around 20 - 30 year olds. It appeals to them as it talks about doing yoga and hiking etc.
7) The images show people working out and pictures of hiking bags and doing yoga.
8) There are no videos.

1) The style for mine will be a sage green theme with pretty icons around
2) I will use cute fonts and will make it appealing to the target audience.
3) I will use images of food and people working out (mainly teenagers) and I will put easy foods that teens can make at home.
4) My logo will have a sage green background with a white text with little bubbles/another icon trailing off of it.
