Chosen Font, Colours And Text Font

This is chosen title name and font for my music magazine front cover. This is bold and stands out. It's unique and has the element of the volume bar with it. I may change the colour of it later on, but for now this is what it will look like.


My chosen colour is on my Colour Scheme's Powerpoint presentation. I have chosen the black, white and orange colour scheme as the three colours work well together. Also, they go well with my band and genre of my magazine.

I have chosen the font ‘Comic Sans MS’ which is what this font is. It is easy to read; it’s a bit different from a lot of other boring fonts and will look good on my magazine. It’ll look good in any colour and can be placed anywhere on the magazine and still look effective.

These three things will make sure that my music magazine is suitable to the genre and it'll be more interesting this way.

Text Ideas

For the text on the inside of the magazine i have got to choose a font that will look good in my music magazine and one that relates to my genre and band.

Here is a list a few fonts i am considering:

This font.... is quite nice, this font is bold and if in a different colour will look good.

This font.... is a good one. It is easy to read and would suit a magazine well. This is my favourite one.

This font.... is an ok font. It's quite boring and isn't very interesting.

This font.... is also quite nice, but it's hard to read and there is a use of capitals when they are not needed.

This font....is a nice fonr bur is hard to read and doesn't fir in with the genre of my magazine and band.

I am going to use the second font as it's easy to read, a nice font to have as the text inside and would look good in different colours.

Analysing Existing Music Magazines

Analysing Existing Music Magazines

I have anaylsed existing front covers, contents pages and double page spreads from music magazines. I have stated what i like about them and what i don't like about them. I've also said what is on the magazines that make it unique.

Masthead Ideas

For my music magazine i need to think of some title names for my magazine that i would consider using. I have come up with some that i will list::

Melody
Strings
Tempo
Solo
Volume

My favourite so far is 'Volume' and i am going to use this as my title name.

Genre and target audience

There are a few genres i would consider using for my music magazine.
I am considering:
Pop
R&B
Soul

When deciding on my genre, i will need to think about what colours are associated with this genre and what fonts, and then i will decide whether or not this will suit my music magazine.
I also have another option. I can use an existing local band, who's genre is rock/blues.

I think i am going to use the existing band as it will be easier to make the magazine as i could do an interview easily, they already have band information and it can make the magazine more believable.

Music Magazine

I am now starting my Media Coursework. I have got to analyse and make my own music magazine. This is worth 50% of my AS mark. The genre of my magazine will be decided later, but my target audience is going to people who like the type of music that i choose and they will probably be teenagers to young adults. I may be using an existing local band, so i will use their genre of music, which is rock/blues.
