The document discusses rationales for design choices in a rock music magazine, including: - Choosing a color scheme of black, white, and red to fit the rock genre and models' outfits. - Selecting fonts like "El tercer hombre" and "Hollywood hill" in dark red for artist names to stand out against images. - Using the font "dark Monday" in black for the magazine name "Uncut" because it stands out and connects letters. - Incorporating simple fonts throughout for subtitles and variety, including "rocks" to fit the rock genre. - Relying mainly on natural outdoor lighting but also controlling indoor lighting for photoshoots

1. Rationales

2. Colour scheme
• I have decided that my main colours will be
black, white and red. These colours all fit in
nicely with the overall genre and theme of my
magazine. The colours will also fit in nicely
with my models outfit and makeup. If I went
with bright colours it wouldn’t fit in with my
genre of magazine which is rock. Most
common rock magazines have dark colour
schemes.

3. Artist name font
• I have decided to use the font “El tercer
hombre” for my main artist ,I choose this
font because it is different and it also fits in
nicely with my overall theme. However I
would like to change the colour of the title
to a dark red, so that it will stand out a bit
more. I will then put any other artists that
are on my front cover in the font “Hollywood
hill”. This will also be in a dark red colour.

4. Magazine font and name
• My magazine name is “uncut”, I choose
this name because I think it stands out
and also fits in nicely with my theme. The
font I will be using is called “dark
Monday”. I choose this font because it
stands out, I like the black box around the
letters and also like how it Is all
connected. I want my title to stand out on
the page, which I think it will do if I use
this font. If I do like this when I see it on
my front cover I have got many to fall
back on, on my inspirations board. I will
also have the name of my magazine in
black because it will stand out from the
dominant image.

5. Sub fonts
• I have decided to use this font for my sub titles
because I think that it is simple however is still
different. However it doesn’t take attention away
from my dominant image and it also doesn’t take
the attention away from my magazine name. I will
also use this font throughout my magazine as it is
simple and will fit in with all of my pages. I will
also use the “rocks” font in my magazine as it
stands out and also fits I with the genre of my
magazine. I will use a variety of both of these
fonts throughout my magazine.

6. lighting
• The majority of my photos will be taken
outside so the lighting will all be natural.
This could be a challenge because it wont
always be reliable as I wont be able to
change it. However I will also take a few
pictures inside so that I can use different
lighting and control the lighting inside if the
weather outside is bad. However when
taking photos outside depending on where
the model is standing the lighting can be
different.
