2. Style Sheet
Switch is an effective font that is eye-catching and will be recognisable to
the readers who are going to purchase this magazine. It is clear and very
presentable which I can edit easily.
Ransom notes is a very old fashioned but can be modern with the right
editing. It emphasises the title largely which will attract the readers. It is
fun, funky and clear.
Funkrocker has a faded look to it in places, it gives the title an old
feeling but is catchy to the eye. It is bold and would look great in a
range of colours.
Have nothing to do with is a powerful font that will be remembered and
can be edited to have a whole different style. It is clear and bold which
is effective to the eye.
Riffic font is very bold and effective. I like how it curves at the
edges to give it a clear and concise look. It certainly has the
effect you need for a magazine masthead.
Body texts
Aspex font is my favourite one it is clear, effective
and concise. It would work very well in my
magazine.
Red Velvet is bold and eye-catching. However,
I’m not sure this will work with this type of genre.
KG piece by piece is a fun font, it is clear and
provides a certain edge to the font.
Liniga is my second favourite as it is funky and
is vibrant with its curves. Very memorising and
has a neat layout.

3. Colour Schemes
I like this colour scheme as it will contrast very well with
the type of magazine I’m doing. It is bright, bold and eye-catching,
I’ll be able to play around with the colours and see what works.
It appeals to both genders as the colours are on a broad spectrum.
This colour scheme is a bit more brighter but only offers similar shades
although I love the blue/green colours. I would need to know what
images I’m using before deciding what colours I’d need from here. The
colours are very neutral towards both genders.
I like the bright turquoise colour in this palette but the other colours
are too neutral for the type of magazine I’m doing. I usually associate
bright colours with a pop magazine as it stands out on a magazine
stand.
The peacock palette is a perfect combination of bright colours that
are bold and attractive. These are the type of colours I aim to use
on my magazine as I want it to stand out from the rest. The colours
are vibrant and vivid which leaves a memorable image on the
readers mind.

4. Front Cover
I will be placing my tagline at the top
of the magazine. I decided on this
because I want to use the space
wisely and it will catch the readers
eye.
I will be plugging a competition
here that will feature in my
magazine and is a good selling
point.
My main splash image will
feature here either of a band
or solo artist. It will take up the
majority of the space and I
would like the artists to have a
direct address to the audience.
This is a common convention
amongst all magazines and
needs to be include so the
readers can purchase my
magazine.
This will feature either bands or
artists names that are In the
magazine. Or may promote
posters.
This is where my masthead will
be, on a slant possibly may
include a border
around it to emphasise
the title.
This is the type of
image I aim to
have on the front
cover. Long shot,
smiling and a fun
pose. I will take
in a studio to get
the right lighting
and so I can edit
The background
to how I want.
My main articles will be
promoted here as this is the
side that tends to be shown on
a magazine stand. It will include
Images, sub headings and
a pull quote to entice
the audience. I will
use my main colour
scheme to contrast it
with the main image
and heading colours.
Puff will promote a
live review of a
band of artists. I’ve put
It on the third left as it
promotes the artist.
Layout of my front cover is clear, concise
and not too conflicting. I have tried to
include as much information
that would entice an audience]
to purchase my magazine.

5. Contents Page
Contents page heading will
be bold and bright so it
emphasises the importance
of needing to start here before
you read anything. It’s the
pinnacle to any magazine.
Sub image of the main
article on the front cover
provides another snippet of the
interview and exclusive image from
the studio shoot.
Sub headings that will
separate all the sections
in the magazine so the reader
can easily access what they want
to read first.
Layout will be fun &
funky with vibrant colours
to make it eye-catching. It has
all the areas a contents page has,
it will be clear and easy to
understand.
Editors briefing provides an
statement of the editors
highlights of the month. I will
be including favourite articles
and reviews from the magazine.
I will add a few pictures with the
stars to make it more authentic.
Sub images of the other
main articles gives an
indication to the reader
what to expect in the
magazine.
The list of contents with little
sub headings & page
numbers gives an insight
to the reader what’s inside
their magazine.

6. Double Page Spread
Layout is a bit unusual as I’m doing a 90’s flashback theme.
I have a main heading, with pictures going round the outside
of the main article.
I really like my design
and if I get it right it
will work.
Sub image of artist
unseen studio
picture here makes
the reader feel more
involved seeing behind
the scenes.
Sub heading gives an
introduction to the
artist and indicates the
type of interview the
reader is getting.
Main heading will be big,
bold and loud. I want it
to be eye-catching and
emphasise the type of
artist that is being
interviewed.
Main interview of the
artist will include of the
details the reader is
looking for. I will use
declarative,
interrogative
and exclamatory
sentences.
Direct mode is important
as the reader can get
in contact with their
favourite artists. It also
lets them know where
to get the latest news
and tour dates.
Images will be a mix of studio and live shows, I wanted to do
a montage of their live shows. I decided that doing the montage
around the interview would be effective and will be vivid to the
reader. I am pleased with this design so far.

7. Magazine Flatplan
This is the template of my full magazine. My cover feature will
be located in this area of the magazine. My magazine will only
be a quarterly edition and will be jam packed full of exclusives,
newer high quality images and interviews. Pop horoscopes, 10
ways to…, reviews, next months issue and subscriptions will be
regular parts of the magazine every 3 months.
