Website review

Firstly id like to talk about Tube Chop.

Tube chop is a great you-tube video cutter, you can crop the start and end easily and effectively really quickly with is basic format and drag options anyone can use it. However the basic aspect of it lets it down as you can only crop the beginning and end therefore you can not crop the middle or edit the video in any other way, the webpage also has many advertisements around the edges which can be a distraction especially if your trying to find a specific point in a video to cut from the start or end. Overall i love the basic aspect and easy to use functions of the site however being unable to cut from the middle without cutting out the start is a real let down as well as being quite complex to included it into say a "blog" with the embed code etc. 

Another thing id like to talk about also is Wordle 

This great website will make you aggressive in a matter of seconds from the old java plug in required to the great fun of a white screen at the end. if you eneter a bunch of relevant key words into the box as requested nothing happens, if you choose to use an rss feed nothing happens if you need a word cloud here is definitely the place for you wordle... seriously if you want to make a good authentic word cloud just go to word it out  at-least here it actually works with multiple fonts and colours to choose from.  

Common features within music magazines.

• A common theme is the red and black logo which is very bold, usually wrote in block letters also usually in the top left of the cover or across the top.
• Another thing i noticed is how the text is appropriate to the audience for example DJ (left) uses crazy chaotic writing in a bold white text this matches with the main image also and is constant throughout the main cover not just on the anchorage.
• The main image on all covers is a bold and a stand-out individual that match's the colours present this draws the attention to the individual.
• Many times the key individual or the main image is in-front of the title also this creates a curiosity to the reader. 
• A variation of colour within the anchorage and cover links is also very common as this draws the attention of the reader to the main information.
• Another thing that is common among music magazine is to include free items from CD's to posters this entices people to buy their magazines over the other ones.
• A lot of magazines also use quite vibrant colours such as pinks and yellows in specific places such as the taglines.
