Music Magazine masthead idea's:
These are various ideas which I have come up with for the masthead of my magazine. I feel that some are alot better than others. I feel that although recall and control are very simple the will not go well with the ideas inside of the magazine and the genre which I have chosen to use.
I also like the idea of 'Definative' as a magazine title because it could be connoatated with the idea of the magazine defining various things specifically to do with this genre of music.
I feel that 'Louder' is a good option as it is simple and because of the target audience which I am aiming for this magazine title will work well also the title has to draw the audience into reading the magazine and I feel that the title 'Louder' would do this instantly. Also I believe that this title will give off the correct image for the genre of music I am using as well as having a nice sound to it.
I feel that the title which I am going to use for my magazine is 'Definitive' because it is different from various other magazines which are already being made and has various good ideas connotated with the idea. I also believe this will work well because it is a longer word so can be abbreviated when the magazine becomes more popular.
Potential Sell Lines (Front Page):
I have also come up with various idea's for potential sell lines on my magazine front cover, I have included both some which I have made up and some which are true stories. I thought I would need to include some which are made up because to make the story which I include on my double page spread more consistent with the front page of the magazine and the contents page. I feel that all of the stories shown above will be useful to use on the contents page of my magazine. But the main story which I am going to include in my magazine on each of the 3 pages is the story with the title 'Interview: new band Encode' because I have made this story up and the band is fictional so I am able to create various other ideas from this one. I feel that the other stories which will go well on the cover of my magazine are, 'Laura Marling 2010 Tour: The details' and 'Noah and the Whale Theft: The full story'.
Potential Font Styles For Masthead:
These are the fonts which I found from http://www.dafont.com/ which I felt would look best on the masthead of my magazine. I feel that the DEF at the beginning of the word being in capital letters makes the word look more power full and interesting. And when the magazine becomes more established it could be shortened to DEF. I feel that out of all of the 5 texts which I liked the most the second would go best with the style of my magazine because it is simple yet noticeable.
Colour Scheme
I feel that the colour scheme for my magazine should be quite simple yet effective. I feel that a good colour scheme to use will be a black and brown style scheme using various white elements in with these colours.
When coming up with the colour scheme I also considered using various other colour schemes, but because I felt a simple style would work best I felt that tese colours would work best together.
