1. Music Magazine
Information
Henrietta Dent

2. Photoshop Tools I Will Be Using
I will be using Adobe Photoshop Elements in order to edit my front cover, contents page, double
page spread and advert. I will be using this as it is the software that the majority of magazine
companies use to edit their magazines front cover, contents page, double page spread and
adverts. It has all the software tools I need in order to edit my magazine successfully.

3. Name:
Fusion
Google definition:
“The process or result of joining two or more
things together to form a single entity”
Gathering results from my market research questionnaire
allowed me to choose Fusion as it was the most voted name. I
like Fusion as I want to show how my magazine fuses all the
types of artists in the indie/rock genre together in one magazine
alike the definition.

4. Colour Scheme
The main colour scheme running through my
magazine will be black, white and red. I found
that black and white often gives a classic yet
classy retro affect which I want to associate
closely to the indie/rock genre of music in my
magazine as my magazine is not free. I will also
be using red in order for certain parts of text to
stand out against the black and white running
through my magazine.

5. The Colour Scheme will be Similar to Q
Magazine

6. Main Front Cover Inspiration: NME
I like these front covers as the writing is mainly surrounding the cover image which
draws readers main attention to the image. I will be using a similar quality in my
front cover.

7. Main Contents Page Inspiration: NME
Contents Page
I like the simplicity of these contents pages and the use of lots of images which
makes the contents page more interesting. I also like the use of different fonts for
each pull quote beneath each image, gives more personality to the text and
makes it more readable as it is not all the same fonts.

8. Main Double Page Spread Inspiration:
KERRANG
I like the simplicity of these double page spreads as there are not many images used
which allows the main image to stand out. I like how the main image is on the left
hand side of the page and the article on the right.

9. List of Photoshop Fonts

10. Main FontsI will be using:
Franklin Gothic Heavy- A sans-serif font for my front cover heading as
when it is in a large typeface it will grab a readers attention also as it is plain it looks more stylish
and is mainly used for headlines in newspapers. The typeface maintains a high profile.
Calibri – I will be using this font for the majority of articles as it is clear and easy to read.
AR Bonnie - I will use this for my Double page spread article title as
again it looks elegant and clean, although it is not completely clear small but in a big typeface it is
readable.
Other fonts to be used I will experiment with;
OratorStd, Small Fonts, Impact, Castellar, Engravers Mt, Cafisch Script Pro, Arial, Friday13,
Copperplate Gothic Bold, ImpactLabelReversed, Agency FB, EccentricStd, BankGothicBold
