My Magazine Idea's

Fonts Already Used On Magazines
I want the name of my magazine to be very simple, but yet still catch the attention of the target audience. I also want thee font to be modern and match my magazine and what music is in the magazine.

This is the font for billboard magazine, its simple but still very eye catching with the colours in the dots, it also matches the colour scheme.

This font is for NME magazine, its Red, White and Black, its eye catching and also runs through out the colour scheme. As soon as you see this font and logo, you know what magazine its for and its instantly recognisable.


This is probably my favourite logo, this is because its so simple yet so eye catching, it can be seen anywhere and it again, instantly recognizable. Its small and doesn't spread or ruin any magazine covers, its easy to say and read, and the colours make it stand out more.
Font Ideas For My Magazine
All fonts are from (http://www.dafont.com/)

LL Rubber Grotesque
                                                                  I really like this don't, this is because its very edgy yet simple, it still stands out without it being too fussy and it can be easily read. I think it matches the target audience and it goes well with the choice of genre.


This font to me looks like a dance font, something that would be in a new dance music magazine. Its too modern and way too simple for the genre of magazine I'm doing.

This font works well for other magazines in genres like Dance or Alternative music magazines. Its too jazy and it doesnt really look suitable for a music magazine.


Charlie Brown
This font does what the title of the magazine says, its loud, bold and really does stand out, Its really easy to read and kind of goes well with my genre being new music (pop/indie).

This is a scibbled effect and I like this font but again it doesnt work well with the genre of my music magazine, this would work well with a acoustic genre or a more unqiue sound of magazine.


Name Ideas

Loud -The reason I thought of choosing a name like Loud is because its very edgy and short, it would catch the attention of people and would sound like an easy thing to say when mentioning the magazine. Its also got to do alot with the magazine, saying that the magazine is trying to make a loud statement, and that music is also loud, so the name of the magazine is very relevant.
TNMusic-This means 'The new music', I do like this name for the magazine and it does look good when written down, its not too hard to remember and it represents the magazine. Just like Q it means something other than just the name of the magazine.
Songz- This name is very boring and has no real relevance to the magazine, im not keen on this name as it doesnt really mean anything and has nothing to do with the magazine as it doesnt just involve songs it involves new artists and information about music.
Beatz- I like the name beatz, there are some headphones called this and I think that they represent new music as all the artists wear them, this would be good to call a magazine this, but the only problem is that it sound too dance, and my music genre is new music (pop/indie) so it doesnt really work well.
Audio- This is another word for the sound of music, I like this name, its catchy, it stands out and its very easy to remember.

Artist and Photo Ideas
When thinking on the genre I was going to do, I thought of artists that are relevant to it, so I can maybe do something very similar. I wanted to use artists like Marina & The Diamonds and Ellie Goulding, this is because they are both Pop/Indie artists.

They both use acoustic sets and when doing my own pictures I would like to involve a guitar. I would also like you to be able to see what genre the magazine is straight away, Which is a Indie/Pop modern new music magazine.
