Mood board of Ideas

In this video I have used images as a visual representation of ideas and inspiration I could use to help me when creating my magazine. 

The covers and contents pages I have used all appeal to me in some way or another, whether it is because of the colour palette they have used, the Style of fonts or a certain pose that has been shown. I have also included into my video some of my favourite fonts that I may choose to use in my final magazine, along with them is a few pictures showing who my magazine is going to appeal to and what other interests people of this age have.

Inspiration For Covers

I have created this mood board of magazine covers that I like and have found ideas and inspiration from, this will then help me when I come to design my front cover on my magazine as I can use this as a guide. 

I have found myself more drawn to the black and white monochrome covers or covers that feature grey scale images, this is something I have decided that I would like to experiment with further when I design my magazine cover.

I also like the magazine covers that have very strong eye catching poses on the for their main images, I think is because it would catch the readers eye (like it did to mine) and make them take a further look at the magazine.

These are some of the fonts that I have found using Dafont.com, For the masthead of my magazine I found myself looking at handwritten fonts as I find these different original, I also find that they look very sophisticated and professional. My other choice of masthead is to use a font that looks worn or destroyed as I think it would give my magazine more of an edge and individual look. 

My font would also have to match well with the genre of my music magazine, my music magazine is going to cover contemporary music that is currently in the charts such as Pop and Indie. I have thought that if I aimed my magazine mainly at the Pop and Indie genres it would cover a wide audience, as most of the music listened to in the charts at the moment is mainly of these genres.

I will now use this mood board of fonts to help me decide on my final fonts that I will choose to use on my final magazine.
