Questionnaire

Other Fonts


These are some fonts that i would like to include for phrases in the magazine to grab the readers attention

Font for the title of the magazine

I again weeded it down to a final three;

What i like about these is that they are all simple but i think they stand out and make the text itself look good. The one i have chosen is Century Gothic (in the actual magazine the text may be needed to be made bold)


Fonts for magazine title

After i had sorted my title out for the magazine i then had a look at a lot of fonts, some for the heading and just some for other uses in the magazine.






Posible Colour Palette Ideas

I like the idea of using the white and black ad base colours and then a bold statement colour that will brighten up the cover as well as still looking classy. I would also like to incorporate the statement colour into the picture as well

Mood board

This is roughly what is going to go on each page

Magazine Name

I wanted to choose a music magazine name that links in with the music, as I’m not going for a particular genre of music on main stream then it won’t hinder some of my choices. I looked at the names of current magazines for some inspiration (Q, Rolling Stones, Spin and Vibe). I started by thinking of 15 ideas for the name. 
  • Beat
  • Mix
  • Sound
  • Clash 
  • Spotlight
  • Pulse
  • U.A.C (up and coming)
  • Listen 
  • Accent 
  • Decks 
  • Echo 
  • Tempo
  • Constant 
  • Sonos 
  • Blaring 
I shortened the list to a possible three; Spotlight, Echo and Sound. After presenting these names to a few people the feedback was mainly directed towards one of the names, so I settled upon it, Echo. It doesn’t fit in with my original idea of having a longer name so it fitted across the page but it got the best reception out of the two and plus with a single syllable word it can be easily remembered.
