Colour scheme ideas,Branding, Name ideas and feature story ideas


Colour ideas

 By trying out different colour ideas I have decided to predominantly use black and white within my magazine, along with red to make parts of it stand out. I have also decided to use grey or a blueish grey maybe for the backgrounds or boarders.







Branding-logo design


Typology

  • Traditional/mainstream font 
  • Mainly used in body and display
  • Times New Roman font
  • Q magazine uses this font

  • Mainly use in display
  • Funkrocker Font from www.1001fonts.com
  • Kerrang magazine use this style

Script:


  • Posh style font
  • Relates to handwriting
  • Classical magazines would use this style







Name ideas
  • Alt rock
  • Rhythm
  • IMR (indie modern rock)
  • Motif
  • Concord
  • Encore
  • Audio
  • Amp
  • Outkast
  • Indie rock music
 I chose these names because they all link to my chosen genre, and I think they would work well as a title for a magazine. I decided to go with Encore as my title because that phrase is usually used often in rock gigs when the audience want the band to play another song. I also thought that the meaning of encore could relate to my magazine with the idea that my audience would want more of my magazine, like they would want more music from a band.

Cover stories and feature stories
  • Review of a bands gig
  • top 20 playlist of indie rock/rock music that month
