Potential target audience

After doing a survey on what people think are the most important aspects of a magazine I have come up with an analysis. This shows all of the things females who are interested in rock music would contain in an interview. This will be helpful to me as it will give me a brief idea of what my target audience is looking for in a magazine which they would buy. 

Drafting and planning

I have created a sample double page spread which has two photographs as the background and the name of the artiste in the foreground. I have tried to find a photo which closely matches the look I would like to go for. I liked the photo because the girl is wearing doc martens which give it that kind of rock edge. Personality is shown through this photo which is something I want to have as a part of mine. 

Research into similar products and drafting and planning

The colour scheme of this magazine is four colours and has been kept very simple and there is a very clear house style.

Drafting and planning

I have been looking on different font websites and seeing which look most effective and which ones suit my artist's name the most. I have come to the conclusion that simpler fonts look best rather than futuristic or extremely decorative fonts as I want my final product to look minimalist.

Drafting and planning

I did some research into flower names as I thought that it would be ironic that I'm doing a rock orientated magazine however the artists has the name of a flower. I also feel that this is very impressionable.

Drafting and planning

I have done some research into potential fonts. There are a range of different fonts which I tried out with the word 'Connect' as I really like this as a name for my magazine following my research into names. I think I prefer the simple serif fonts rather than the more 'techno' looking ones. 

Drafting and planning

Using visual thesaurus I have found alternatives for the words 'link' and 'connect' as I feel that these words would be appropriate for the type of magazine I am looking into creating.  This has given me some ideas as to what my final magazine name will be.
