23.01.17 - Weekly Update

The cover star reveal! I finally chose someone to portray an artist for my magazine, creating a backstory which lead to an entire Prezi pitch about her and my entire magazine. Working on this took a while because I needed to decide and finalise aspects for my magazine like the name, font and colour scheme. That was everything I done last week. Byeee!

Finalised Masthead

Below is my final masthead name for my magazine. Looking at all of my fonts i found that this was the font that appealed and portrayed a sophisticated yet fun style. Using the crown from a different font and the colourful lines from my colour scheme to create another aspect of my name to make it stand out. 

Magazine Pitch

As you can see below is a prezi presentation i have created, which I will be using for my pitch for my chosen music 'artist'.

Cover Star Reveal



Masthead Fonts

Below are 10 different fonts which i am considering for my pop music magazine masthead:

 

 

Idilica :

This is a sans serif font which is quite thin and enlarges some letters, I like the simplicity of this font however it is not very bold for a masthead and may look out of place if it were to be on a front cover.

Park Lane NF:

Slightly bolder, I like this fonts uniqueness/style however it does not look like it would be seen on a stereotypical pop magazine front cover.

Street Cred:

This font is quite dynamic and bold, aswell as it being easy to read overall seems like a well suited font for my magazine.

Tostada:

Looking at this font initially it is a simple style aswell as it also being bold therefore perfect for a pop magazine as you would want it to stand out instantly. The unique style of the 2 lines to make up the letters is a good aspect.

Budmo:

This is style is formed from looks like pop art with the circles filling up each letter which makes it perfect for a pop magazine as it looks like a fun font.

Basic Title font:

Simple but effective this font creates a sense of sophistication which is what my target audience said they would like to see through-out a magazine.

The Next font:

 Quite bold and almost cartoon like this font would be good as a simple masthead on the front cover of a magazine as it is also easy to read and recognise from a distance.

Dolce vita, Marbre sans, Arual:

These fonts are all similar as they very simple but effective with aspects of geometric shapes making up the letters to keep it looking modern and sophisticated.

 



16.01.17 - Weekly Update

This week i finalised everything and decided on my colour scheme and then using a website called dafont i need to find 10 different fonts and decide on the one that best fits my magazine. I have also come up with 7 different masthead names which i have chosen my final one to be 'Unplugged'. Then thinking about my cover star for my magazine i have began to create a prezi which showcases the back story and somewhat of an introduction to the artist that will be the face of my magazine. Deciding things like the photoshoot and what i would want the individual to represent as a main image on my pop music magazine. That was mostly everything i put towards my front cover magazine. Check next week for more updates. Byeee!

Masthead Names

For my pop music magazine i needed to come up with at least 5 different names which would be unique to the magazine i'm designing.
Below are the following which i am considering:

-Pop Reign
-Liberate
-QP
-Unplugged
-Pop Style
-Queen Pop
-Royalty

Colour Scheme

Through looking at all of my colour schemes I created, I finally chose this colour scheme. Firstly I ensured the colour scheme included a black and a white as it is important to ensure that a dark colour is present to then use as a font colour which will allow people are able to clearly read for example regulars. The white has the same reason as a lighter colour is needed for contrast as well as ensuring it looks bright to relate to POP, which is my music genre. Looking at my overall colour scheme it consists of quite bright fun colours. Although to then relate to the minority of male audience I found a blue/green toned colour that contrasted well with the pink. It is almost an aluminous colour but is still slightly toned down. The baby pink is also quite pastel and subtle with somewhat feminine connotations, ensuring it is not a bright pink which related to ‘Barbie’.

Back at school this week and straight onto the actual pop music magazine. Starting with colour schemes i used a website called 'coolors' which allowed me to find lots of different colour combinations and determine which would best suit my pop magazine. After finally deciding i chose my colour scheme and began to consider masthead names for my magazine. See you next week. Byeee!
