Here I experimented
with the letters ‘weight’, making the word bolder, and stand out more
(something I mentioned previously, as being a trait of the magazines I looked
at).
|

|
Here I simply
experimented with colour; as my magazine isn’t gender specific, I had to decide
on unisex colours; red is a colour I could possibly use.

This is half of the
fonts I picked as possible fonts for my magazine cover title. I picked an array
of different fonts so I have a range of styles to look at and experiment with.

This is the second
half of the fonts I picked as possible fonts for my magazine cover title.
|
 |
|
I chose to keep a
quarter of the original fonts I picked. From looking at various music magazine
covers (mostly R’n’B magazines), I realised, 90% of the time, the fonts used
were very bold and eye-catching, using predominately uppercase. Due to this, I have
decided to get rid of the more ‘fancy’, italic fonts, and stuck to the bolder, urbane
fonts.

This is
research into the type of magazine I aim to create (contemporary R&B music
magazine), rather that style- when it comes to the image I plan to use- as my
model will have a completely different look, as shown on my mood board.
|

My magazine is to be based around an urban/retro theme, one main
inspiration being the pop star Rihanna (due to her personal style and attitude;
the style and attitude I want my magazine to portray).
Though the face will also be a focus (for my front cover image),
especially the eyes.
I also will attempt
to capture a range of shots- face shots, mid shots, full body shots etc, as
depicted from my mood board.My photoshoots should portray this urban fashion sense displayed in my mood board images, but also intensity in the face, mainly from the eyes. This should display the modern idea of R'N'B music, especially from modern day female artists such as Rihanna, Rita Ora etc. |
