planning - colour,font and photo ideas

 

Colour Scheme:

I think that all of the colour scheme abouve work well together. The first line of colours are effective, they are not bright and in your face but not to dull either. I think tat it is appealing that there are a mix of colours light and dark. It fits in well with the target audience - boys and girls as there isnt just boyish colours being used but also more feminine. If i was to used any of those colours as the background colour for a page, the other colours for text would still be able to be seen clearly. I think that those four colours would work perfectly throughout my magazine, as it definately refelcts the genre of electro.
The second line of colour is not as colourful as the first, but still works well with the genre of electro. However, I don't think the white will work very well with green. Furtheremore, the colours dont appeal to both male and female, more so male.
The third rown of colour is quite suttle and chilled, which doesnt really match well with electronic music. Electro music is upbeat and energetic and this doesn't show through this colour scheme. However, the colours work well together and text would be clear on a background of any of those colours.
Lastly, the colours used on the fourth row are dark and also more chilled colours. I think that this colour scheme would work better with a R+B magazine such as Vibe. Saying this, I think the light blue would look effective on my electro music magazine.
After analysing this colour chart, I have decided to used bright and darker colours to appeal to both male and female, and this wil lalso link with my genre of electronic music.


Titles for masthead:

Dynamic - Interlude - Bass - Beat - Tempo - Rhythem - Encore - Harmony - Melody - Note - Major

All these masthead titles are inspiration I have used are all music related definitions.

The masthead I have chosen to use for my 'electronic' genre music magazine is TEMPO.
I have decided to use this because it goes well with the theme of electronic and as electro music is an upbeat tempo sound, it links well with it and represents it.

Fonts for masthead:

I think that this font would work well as a masthead. This is because it suits the genre of electro well. It is bold, therefore, easy for the target audince to recognise. The masthead is the most important text on the front cover, and also throughout the rest of the magazine, such as the contents page.

I have chosen this font because its unusual
yet very clear and readable. I think this would be a good masthead but I dont think I will chose to use it as my masthead. I would use this font for subheadings and other information prehaps on the contents page and double page spread. I don't think this font would be to appropriate as the masthead as it's not as bold and chunky as a masthead should be.

This font is different and matches electro genre well. The dots over the 'i' stand out which makes the reader automaticaly look at the masthead.

This font is quite unique and would be great to use for my magazine. However, the 'd' and the 'o' look alike which makes it harder to make out what the text says. I like the boldness of it and how the lettering is square and jagged.

This design is simple which makes it easy for the reader to read. However, I think it looks to child like for the genre of my magazine and also, using this font throughout my magazined would become rather boring to look at and would'nt engage the reader.


Photoshoot Ideas:
When I am taking photos for my magazine, I want them to be unique and different. As electro is a unusual gerne of music, I will link this with my photo's. I will also make sure the clothing is the right style for the genre of my magazine.
