2. These are all fonts I found on a
website called dingbatty.com which
offers a variety of fonts from which I
have selected a few that caught ,y
eye, my decision is not final and
may not be based on one of these
ideas but I will keep researching.
My particular favourite is this one
as it is classy as well as unique,
however I am not too sure it follows
my genre.
3. I have researched different title ideas by asking friends and looking online
at some of my favourite artists lyrics and album names. Overall i have
came up with 5 different ideas from which I will select one.
•Diamond- I came up with this as I was looking at picture of a rap
artist who had an excessive amount of diamonds on, also it connotes
wealth and fame.
•Chronic-I chose this name as it was Dr Dre 2001 album name,
however the meaning is a little bit inappropriate, however my
magazine will be about attitude.
•ACE- I chose this name as it is one of the most powerful cards in a
deck and it co notates power and the ability to win.
•Platinum- I chose this as when a music artist is really successful their
album can become platinum and it is a very rare metal so it makes the
magazine seem rare and special
•OG- I chose this name as my genre is Hip hop/ Rap, and this is a
term used to describe an Original Gangster.
4. I have carefully selected three styles
of colour pallets which i may feature
on my magazine, including black
and white is key in my opinion as it
ensures that the magazine presents
class and clarity. I have chosen an
extra main colour which I will include
on main things like the master head,
orange is one of my choices as it is
clear and resembles brightness,
purple has been chosen as it is a
royal colour and appears formal,
and lastly I have chosen red which
is an obvious choice as most
magazines feature this scheme,
however i wonder if it is too
conventional.
5. I have analysed a contents page such as
this in my analysis I like the fact that the
main image is the focus on the page and
that it is in match which the colour pallet, the
main heading is also attractive as it is
scrambled and stands out, however i am not
to keen on the main text of the page as I
feel it is too small and does not really look
professional.
6. The contents page from the XXL magazine
is my second option to form the layout of
my contents page around. I feel it is
slightly better than the previous model as it
uses the space wiser. The main image is
still the focus on the page and looks
professional. The main title and text is also
properly structured which is what I like in a
magazine. I think I will use elements of this
in my magazine.
7. I chose to consider the layout from
this magazine as it is an alternative
genre and I thought I would branch
out, however I do not particularly
like the layout or the crammed
information on the page, it is all to
congested in my opinion.
8. 1. Interview with pretend music artist about them returning to the music scene
2. Interview with music artist about their alternative hip hop genre
3. Top 10 up and coming music artists
4. How to dress like? Wiz khalifa, maybe another artist
5. General interview with music artist about their journey
6. Top 10 rap artists of all time
7. Out of prison, what will he do next? Interview with pretend artist
9. For my front cover I have e decided to have one of my friends as a model the
following points I will present will combine together to construct a stylish cover.
1. The model will be wearing clothes that fit my genre below i ahve pictures
of some of the things that the model will be wearing.
10. 2. It is key that the model is posing in the conventional ‘Original gangster’
fashion e.g. folding arms angry face
3. The model will also need to be in either a plain background or an area
that is well lit and resembles the thug culture such as an estate.
