2. • Name (working): WorldWide
I chose this name because my magazine will be about popular international
indie artists and this title will indicate that.
• Music genre: Indie
I decided on indie as my genre because in my audience research indie was a
popular music genre.
• Price: £2.50
I chose this price because it is not too expensive and that means my magazine
can appeal to a wider audience of people.
• Frequency: Monthly
I chose monthly because you could pick the best content and get in more
content than if you did it weekly. The magazine will have 60 pages.

5. Masthead fonts
I have thought about this font because it is bold and eye catching. It is quite simplisticand plain which reflects
indie’s feel. A downside could be that it is quite common.
I have thought about this font because it is quite cursive and feminine. Feminine is good because my magazines
majority audience is females. It is quite individual and unique. A downside is that it being feminine it could alienate
males and reduce the male audience. It may also not fit on a magazine cover because of it width and cursive.
I have thought about this font because it is quite expressive and individual. A downside is that it is not a type of font that
would typically reflect indie music. Another downside is that it is quite masculine meaning it may deter my majority
audience.
I have thought about this font because it is bold and eye catching. Also it is not completely plain because of the line
through the middle.A downside is that it is still quite common.
I have thought about this font because it is quite sleek and simple. It is quite simplewhich reflects indie’s attitude.
It is also not gendered meaning the magazine won’t look biased towards a certain gender. A downside is that it is
quite thin and it won’t catch the audience eye. It is also quite plain and common.

6. Article fonts
Font 1. I have considered this font because of it’s classic,
sleek, formal appearance. It is not too bold that the reader
won’t be able to read it. The letters are simple and easy to
read. It is not to complex and outlandish.
Font 2. I have considered this font for similar reasons
too font 1. This font however is slightly cursive which I
do not like so therefore I do not like it as much as font 1.
Font 3. I have also considered this font for similar reasons
to fonts 1 & 2. The letters in this font are slightly more
spaced making it easier to read but therefore look
childish. The thinnest of the letters also makes it less
attractive.
7. Colour schemes
I have considered this
colour scheme because it
is quite plain and not too
bright. The blue and pink
would help to appeal to
both genders. However I
think there are too many
shades of blue and the
pink may be too light for
the magazine and be
hard to see.
I have considered this colour scheme because it is not too bright and will
help to appeal to both males and females. I may change the shade of red
because it is quite bold and may be too overpowering for the magazine.
The colours are quite so that may be a downside of this scheme.
I have considered this colour scheme
because it is quite plain and not bright. I do
not want bright colours because I think they
will overpower the magazine. I may change
the shade of red because it is the prime colour
of red and that can overpower the magazine.
The grey is very similar to white so it will be
hard to see on a white background so I will
probably not include it.
