The Time Out London website represents the Time Out London magazine and aims to provide users with information on events, restaurants, and things to do in London. The website shares the magazine's style and slogan to create consistency across platforms. It allows users to personalize their experience by signing in or subscribing. The navigation bar helps users find relevant content on topics like events and restaurants. Through regular updates and additional content, the website aims to be users' ultimate guide to London and give them more current coverage than the print magazine.
2. This website, Time Out
London – is a website
representing the Time
Out London regional
magazine. The website
banner has the Time
Out London logo which
creates a house style for
the website matching
the magazine. The
slogan; “Make the most
of your city”, this ties the
website in with the
ethos of the magazine.
They then allow the user
to sign in or sign up, this
gives the user a more in
depth and personalised
reading experience.
3. The navigation bar
allows the user to
navigate to the topic
area interesting them
most, and then allows
them to search for
things happening in
London, again giving
more of a regional feel
to the user. The
headline Your Ultimate
Guide to London further
reiterates this.
Throughout the home
page they have
featured parts of the
magazines, including
more regular updates.
4. The website gives the
user an opportunity to
subscribe to the
magazine increasing
the popularity of it. By
updating it more
regularly than the
magazine and giving
slightly different
information in
comparison, they are
giving more
coverage to the
reader.
5. Time Out London
website then links in
with Time Out
websites related to
other cities, therefore
referencing the
magazines. It allows
the user to choose
their city, taking them
to that site and
allowing them to
access information
similar but it is related
to that city, for
example New York.
6. A second hyperlinked
page coming from
the home page
featured on the Time
Out London website
would be the Events
page. This displays
information on Events
from around London
– again a mixture of
topics from the
magazine and new
ones posted onto the
website, which are
updated more often.
7. At the top of the
page, the house style
continues with a
consistent navigation
bar. They have used
the tag line “Your
complete up-to-date
guide to events in
London”, this suggests
to the viewer they
have included
everything that is
happening in London
at the moment –
again making it
personal to those in
the area.
8. The top articles are
shown in a large banner
in the centre of the
page, this promotes
specific events and
articles of this section of
the website and
encourages the reader
to read them instead of
others. Below this, they
split the articles into two
sections; critics’ choice
and this week. This then
allows the reader to
read the topics most
relevant/of interest to
them.
9. At the side of the
page, they have
offers from Time Out –
again giving the user
a personal feel and
adding another
dimension to their
magazine. Below this,
more information is
provided regarding
Time Out and the
events they are
featuring around
London.
10. At the side of the
page, they have
offers from Time Out –
again giving the user
a personal feel and
adding another
dimension to their
magazine. Below this,
more information is
provided regarding
Time Out and the
events they are
featuring around
London.
11. A third hyperlinked
page from the Time Out
website would be the
Restaurants & Cafés
page. This again follows
the same layout from
the previous
hyperlinked page – this
time including
information on
restaurants and cafés
from around the
capital. The use of
images throughout the
website gives the
reader information on
the articles without
reading them.
12. Again this page
shows the featured
articles in a large
banner in the centre
of the page, and
separates them
below between
Latest Restaurant
Reviews and Most
Booked – allowing the
reader to pick which
is best for them and
most of interest.
