I first researched names of well known magazines as shown above. Which also show the type of font they have used for an effective title, 3 out of the 4 use capital letters that are striking which I may use on my main task.
Titles
Two of the titles have a definite relationship to music; rolling stone(s) is the name of a classic rock band, which is the type of music I predict it will enclose and NME clearly shows it stands for new musical express. I like the fact they relate to music so that the audience can immediately recognize what it is for.
Below are the names I have brainstormed that I think suit a music magazine:
Wired
Amplified
Audio
Silence
In step
Loud
Listen
Noise
Speaker
Volume
Harmony
Melody
Treble
Out of all the above names Silence appeals to me the most but I think it would be better if above in a smaller font it said Anything But then below Silence, to convey the magazine is about noise/ music, as there is anything but silence.
Fonts
From the titles above, I saw that the majority of them were in capitals, and consisted of the main colours red, white and black. I think that the reason red may have been used is because one of its connotations is passion, which can be related to the passion of music with in the magazine.
I used www.dafont.com to look at differnt fonts, of which I have made a selection of my favourites below.
I looked again on www.dafont.com and found a font I preferred called Infected which is below. I will used this for my front cover.
I will only use the above font for the title; for the rest of my text I will use smaller fonts that are more simple than the one above, so that SILENCE stands out. These other fonts are shown below:-
Choosing the name of the featured artist
Cover
Speaker
Fretless
The knotted
Nameless
Speechless
Infected
Eagles
Rascals
The name that I like the most from the above is Infected which I will use for the name of the feature artist in my magazine.
