Magazine Draft Ideas

Title Ideas:-

Grime time

Grime UK

Grime Weekly

Grime station

Holla

Old skool

I asked 10 people to decide which title would be the most suitable:

Grime Time	||||  ||	7
Grime UK
Grime Weekly
Grime Station
Holla	|	1
Old Skool	||	2

The clear favourite was Grime Time and this is now the most probable title name I will use. I believe this title with have the effect of being quite simplistic and successfully introducing the magazine well. I also believe this title will be one which will be easily remembered and therefore it would make my magazine more popular.

Font style:-

Masthead: - The font for the masthead should be one which catches the reader’s eye and draws them towards the magazine.

1. MastHead    2.MASTHEAD 3.Masthead 4.MASTHEAD

5. Masthead 6.MASTHEAD

These are a few ideas which I believe will successfully catch the readers eye and my masthead font will most likely be chosen from this set of fonts.

I asked 10 people to decide which font would be most suitable:

‘1’	|	1
‘2’	|||| ||	7
‘3’
‘4’
‘5’
‘6’	||	2

The favourite was number 2 and therefore this font will be the most likely one I will use. I believe this will be a good font because it is quite unique

Cover line text:-

Cover line fonts should catch the reader’s eye and successfully advertise a certain article or feature within the magazine.

1. Cover line   2.COVER LINE   3.COVERLINE   4.COVER LINE   5.COVER LINE 6. COVER LINE

I asked 10 people which font they thought was most suitable to achieve the aim of a cover line:

‘1’	|	1
‘2’
‘3’
‘4’	||	2
‘5’	|||| ||	7
‘6’

The most popular choice was ‘5’; this therefore will probably be the cover line font I will use in my magazine. This font will give the effect of grabbing the reader’s eye as it is quite bold and would stand out on a shelf. I believe some of the other fonts would achieve this effect but this is the font most popular with my target audience.

Font Colour:-

Masthead colour:-

1.       GRIME TIME   2. GRIME TIME 3. GRIME TIME 4. GRIME TIME 5. GRIME TIME 6. GRIME TIME

I asked 10 people which font colour they would prefer for the masthead and the results were as follows:

‘1’	||	2
‘2’	|||||	6
‘3’
‘4’
‘5’
‘6’	||	2

 The most popular choice was number 2. This colour is probably the best choice because it is slightly gold and this colour has associations with the grime genre. So therefore this colour will make my magazine more recognizable and also gold is quite eye catching so it will have this effect too.

Cover line colour:-

1.       Cover line 2. Cover line 3. Cover line 4. Cover line 5. Cover line 6. Cover line

I asked 10 people which one they would prefer and the results are as follows:

‘1’
‘2’
‘3’
‘4’	|||| ||	7
‘5’	|	1
‘6’	||	2

The most popular choicer was red. This is most likely because it has associations with the grime genre. It also catches the reader’s eye well which is why I believe it will be a good choice for my cover line font.

Colour scheme for front cover:

As I have shown above I have already contemplated the font colours for the masthead and the cover line’s. I have also decided to have a picture covering the whole page which follows the conventions of a normal music magazine.

                                            Masthead = Orange

                                            Cover line = Red

                                            Background = Filled with a picture

Colour scheme for contents page and double page spread:

I will attempt to keep the same colour scheme throughout my magazine to maintain continuity and a sense of familiarity throughout the magazine.
