FONT TESTING

This font is bold and different i would personally say that it would be more appropriate for a male magazine as, there is nothing feminine about the font. Maybe for a hip hop magazine?

This particular font is bold and also quite gothc, this would work well for a gothic rock magazine. Its easy to read but has a slight edge to it. Alll the letters are all in caps and this can work well with the boldness of the audiences.

This font again uses caps and is quite large, the letters 'A,N' are different to the others and add a slight interest to the font and makes it easy to differ from other fonts, this font i would say is quite retro, nd if it was to be put into a music magazine would be, a magazine that varys in audiences and doesn't just stick to its one audience and, also has different music topics.

I think this font is particularly affective as the boldness really stands out and although its simple i think it would be effective as it would be easy to identify the brand identity without being too over the top.

Anita's three initial ideas

My first initial idea was of doing a music magazine which contains bollywood music and bhangra. Bollywood is a movie industry in india which is very big so there are a wide range of audiences in the UK. A convention of a bollywood movie is to have a lot of music and songs in it, which is why i have chosen this as one of my initial ideas as it is different. On the front cover, i would have a film strip on the top to indicate the relationship to movies the magazine has got. The masterhead would be in a kind of hindi script writing which would look traditional and will be recognised by the target audience, who are people interested in bollywood or bhangra music.

My second initial idea is to do a heavy metal magazine. The house style for this is rough and messy. The target audience for this woul be mostly teenagers as it might have swearing in it. There are other magazines like this such as 'Kerrang'! so it isn't really origanal. For my initial idea, the master head is in a scratched font and the photos would be as if there were stuck on with tape. I did this as most teenagers would relate to it as they stick things up in their bedrooms.

My third initial idea is to do a jazz music genre magazine. I wanted this magazine's house style to be quite neat and organised as jazz is quite classy and sophisticated. I had a photo of a live band playing as most jazz music is heard live. I would use the font serif as it has a classic look for the text on the right. The master head or brand name would be in a neat bold. The colours would be quite neutral, but aimed mostly at men as men tend to be interested in jazz more and there aren't many female jazz singers. Although I haven't done any research on this, I could do in the future to find out more if we choose this idea.
