Magazine font analysis
The document discusses different fonts that were considered for use in a rap magazine. The author tested several fonts that they felt had styles relating to graffiti or a "street side" look to appeal to rap fans. However, some fonts were eliminated because they were too difficult to read or did not seem to suit the genre of rap music based on feedback.

This document discusses different fonts that could be used for a rap/grime music magazine. Several fonts are liked because they suit the genre of music, are bold to represent the genres, or have a graffiti-like style. One font in particular is favored for a magazine cover because it is clear, stands out, has a thinner bubble writing style, and a cool graffiti look. Another font is suggested to be used for artist names because it looks handwritten like a signature and feels authentic.

The document discusses Ruqayyah Opeolu's research of fonts for her music magazine. She chose several fonts from the Dafont website including "My Girl Is Retro" for its retro style, "Savrao stencil" and "Crackvetica" for their sans serif typography, "Urban jungle" for its cool look, and "Prisma" for its clean cut edges. She initially considered "Empire straight" and "Sandre regular" as masthead fonts but found them difficult to read from a distance.

Evaluation question 1
This document discusses how the media product uses and develops conventions from real magazines. It examines case studies of XXL and Vibe magazines to understand typical conventions like three-color schemes, large mastheads, cover stars featured throughout.

It also develops conventions by appropriately clothing the cover star rather than showing bare skin, and using a Q&A interview format on the double page spread.
Drafting for masthead

It notes concerns around names that seem too feminine or don't reflect the intended broad audience.
Evaluation 2
The document compares two magazine front covers, analyzing similarities and differences in the poses, gestures, shot types, lighting, costumes, and hair between the covers. Both covers feature a crouching pose looking down at the viewer, meant to portray the artist as superior.

Question 1
The document discusses how the media product (a dance music magazine) was inspired by and drew from the real magazine Mixmag, but also developed its own style in several ways. It used a similar front cover style as Mixmag featuring a close-up of a DJ. The layout drew from Mixmag's tabloid style for some pages but was altered to suit different needs. Images were different as the magazine could not duplicate Mixmag's club/festival photos, instead using resident DJ photos. Fonts were developed further with a consistent three fonts rather than Mixmag's variety. Colors like black were similar to Mixmag and clubs, but purple and green were added or changed. Language drew on Mixmag's formal English but also added

The document discusses the design choices for a magazine about hip hop and R&B music. It describes choosing a blue and black color scheme based on feedback from the target audience of 17-19 year olds. Orange was added as a complementary color to blue. The magazine name "WRAP" was chosen to represent wrapping up information about rapping and music. A conventional layout with a central celebrity image on the cover was selected, along with a teaser and button shaped like an apple for originality. The contents page lists sections and includes an editorial letter and larger "C" in "Contents" for difference. A double page spread is dedicated to a celebrity photo on one side and their interview on the other.

Evaluation for magazine front cover
The document evaluates the front cover design of a magazine. It discusses several aspects of the design that work well, including the recognizable left third of the masthead and the medium portrait of the model. However, it notes that the flash box appears out of place in terms of color and placement.

Overall, the document provides a review of the key design elements of the magazine cover and lessons learned.
Question 1

A messy, unfinished style is considered to convey a relaxed feel. Both asymmetry and geometric shapes are mentioned as design elements. Several preexisting fonts are evaluated but deemed unsuitable.

The author aimed to be unique while taking inspiration from these magazines, using fonts, changing mastheads, addressing readers directly, and taking natural photos to seem realistic rather than staged.
Pitch

For the main image, they plan to feature a model with their arms crossed or in their pockets, looking straight at the camera with a moody expression.

Style sheet (finished)
The document discusses font and color scheme choices for a magazine. For the magazine name, the author chose the Varsity font because it is unique and bold to attract attention. For the masthead text, New Athletic was selected as it is plain but bold to contrast nicely with the name font. The main text font is Ani Typewriter since it is easy to read but also unique looking.

Masthead Font Styles
The document discusses font style options for the masthead of a magazine. It evaluates 4 font styles - Constantine, Nouvelle Vague, Fine Style, and Edition. The author ultimately chooses "E" as the magazine name for its meaning of "eclectic" and similarity to Q magazine's single letter name.

It analyzes the denotation and connotation of five fonts: "wrestle mania", "scorched earth", "All rights reserved", "Campus A", and again "scorched earth".

Several graffiti-style fonts are considered that relate to the urban theme, with some described as more masculine due to sharp lines and others seen as able to represent females through curved lettering.

The fonts considered are evaluated on themes of relating to urban culture and environments as well as their readability and ability to appeal to both male and female audiences.
Masthead ideas

This is a presentation about the decisions I made for the font and masthead on the front cover of my 'Alternative Rock' music magazine. (AS Media Studies)
Rationales
The document discusses the rationale behind the name, fonts, color scheme, and photos chosen for a pop music magazine called "Unplugged".
The name "Unplugged" was selected to reference acoustic and stripped-back music, linking it to the genre explored in the magazine. Various fonts were chosen for different elements like the masthead, artist names, subtitles and articles based on conventions from other pop music magazines and readability. The color scheme combines grayscales and bright colors to draw attention while fitting black and white photos. Close-up portrait photos of artists were selected to clearly show faces from a distance as is typical in pop music magazines.
Font choices
The document discusses the various fonts used throughout a music magazine, including for the masthead, pull quotes, subheadings, main text, and page numbers. Reasons for font choices included capturing a music vibe, appearing funky or young while still being readable, creating familiarity across pages, and appealing to the target audience of teenagers and young adults. Consistency was used for some elements like the masthead font to remind readers of the magazine brand. The fonts were selected to attract readers, relate to the music focus, and match the style of magazine.

Masthead and analysis
This font was chosen because it relates to the R&B theme of the magazine as being bold and simple like the genre of music. It is also easy to read which may attract people. A similar font was selected that is not as bold but still simple and easy to read, which could help increase sales. This magazine copied the font and masthead color used by Vibe magazine as its template, using a recognizable font that is easy to read. However, one text considered did not look like it would fit a music magazine despite standing out boldly.
Question 5
The document discusses how the creator of a rap music magazine, called Outro, attracted their target audience. They researched magazines like Vibe and used a similar style with red and white colors. They featured popular rap artists like Kanye West, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar to appeal to readers aged 14-20 who listen to that genre of music. The layout and double page spreads were modeled after Vibe magazine but kept the creator's color scheme. The magazine was intended to attract fans of rap music by providing interviews and articles about popular artists.
Masthead designs
Lydia Platts is designing the masthead for her new music magazine called "Vibes". She sampled several fonts from dafont.com but none were quite right. The first font, "M12 Match Biker", was too quirky and techno for an R&B magazine. The second font, "Mabella", was too formal. The third, "Distracted Musician", was too childish. The fourth, "Fabada Regular", was too thin. Finally, she selected the font "Haettenschweiler" because it was formal, big, and bold making it the most suitable choice for the masthead.
Dummies and stylesheets
The document discusses colour scheme options for a magazine targeted towards females aged 16-23. A light colour scheme is chosen to appeal to the target demographic based on survey results. Though a darker scheme may attract more males, it risks losing female consumers. While multiple colours were initially considered, a single prominent colour (yellow) is decided upon to avoid a gaudy appearance. Feedback from female readers supports the yellow scheme. Examples from other magazines inform the limited use of the yellow to achieve a professional look.
Rationales
These are my final decisions on the fonts I will use for my music magazine and the colour scheme I will use. There are also my final photos I will use in my magazine.

Magazine font analysis
- 1. Magazine I used this font because I feel its suits my genre rap. This is because I feel it has a graffiti look to it which is associated with rap music. Using this sort of font would also attract a lot of people who like rap music, mainly teens. Magazine I also used this font. I chose this because I felt like it stood out. But didn’tjust only stand out but it had a street side to it, which can relate to my rap magazine. By adding this font it made my rap magazine much more effective. Magazine I was going to choose this font for my rap magazine. This is because I feel it stands out and would suit a rap magazine. The reason I did not chose this is because I felt that it maybe to hard to read sometimes. If it were too hard to read it wouldn’t be effective to put on my magazine.
- 2. Magazine I was also going to choose this font for my rap magazine. This is because again I feel it would stand out and catch peoples eye. But the reason I did not choose it is because I feel it would attract people but it wouldn’t attract the right people for a rap magazine. This is because I feel the font does not suit the genre rap. Magazine I didnot choose this font in the end for my rap magazine. This is because when I got feedback a lot of people said it’s a nice font and it does look good but it is a bit hard to read and wouldn’t be very effective if used. Magazine
- 3. I choose this font for my final magazine. This was because I used it as some bold writing. For example to say what acts are also there so that it would stand out as this font is quite bold. The con for this font is that it is quite hard to read but when I got my feedback from other people they said it is an effective font to use. This font I feel could suit most genres, as it is used for bold text.
