Media Music Magazine - House Style and Fonts for magazine.

As I have chose the name of my magazine, I need to decide on which fonts to use and what colours to use throught.

Here are a number of house styles I may use for my magazine;

These are the colours I have chose, my final choice is number 3. I will use this throughout my magazine and maybe even other shades of purple and blue to make this professional.

At first, I tired the colour scheme I chose but it didn't suit and the image I had did not look right. So I changed the colour scheme, I used pinks and grays, I used these colours throughout my magazine so it looked professional. However, when I had completed my magazine I noticed that I had used a colour which dominates towards females so my magazine would possible have a target audience of the female gender.

In my magazine, I used three different fonts to make my magazine stand out. On my front cover I used STLiti & Bradley Hand ITC. I decided to use STLiti for the name of my magazine as it is a curly and strong font which could easily get the audiences attention. For the Headline, Kicker and the Plug I used Bradley Hand ITC as it is a curly font and it does also stand out.

  

Media Music Magazine - Names for Magazine.

Once I had recorded the results for my questionnaire, I had to start thinking about names for my Music Magazine. I thought about the following names;

• Reckless
• Impulse
• Wireless
• World Wide
• Beatz

The name I chose for my magazine was Impulse, but instead of having an "I", I would use a musical note "♪" this would create a good impression and look good as my magazine is musical and people would understand the meaning behind it.

I also had to think about names for bands which would be on the cover of my magazine and inside my magazine. I wanted the names to have an edgy feel about them so i came up with a few names;

• The Broken
• Frozen Shore
• Risky Love
• Vintage
• Musik, Geld, Magie - Music Money Magic.

The band which will be on my front cover is going to be either Vintage or The Broken, as these have an edgy feel.

Questionnaire for Music Magazine

I had created a college magazine for a preliminary task to see what other students thought about the styles I had used in it. I had used a common house style to create the magazine. the colours I had used were Autumn colours which gave my magazine an Autumn affect. With the use of Picnik my magazine came together.

For our next task, we have to create a music magazine for fellow students at college for them to read and then give a review on it. Before I started creating my magazine, I created a questionnaire to hand out to everyone and then collected them in. Once I had all of the questionnaires back, I decided to make a table and record the results i received.

Here is the questionnaire I handed out to everyone in my class.
