Potential fonts for front cover

I shall use the Brutal Tooth font above for the masthead. this font is good because it is similar to the font used by many bands in the metal-core genre.

I shall use the Pulse Sans Font above for the strapline of the magazine, this is similar to fonts other magazines have used, and it connotes a sense of sound.

This font shall be used for the coverlines of the magazine.

Cover Lines

For my music magazine's coverlines I will use various things that are standard for a music magazines, including:
Band Interviews.
Latest Bands.
Latest Albums.
Concert Information.



My focus group revealed that i should include an interview with a band or band member, I shall show a teaser of this interview on the cover.


Potential cover lines are:

We Interview A Thousand Eyes on their new Album

We give you an inside look at the Concert of Serenity

Music Magazine, Contents Mock Up

Music Magazine, Front Cover Mockup.

Music Magazine Pitch

Magazine analysis: Metal Hammer

Initial Ideas For Music Magazine

The purpose of this post is to establish any initial ides for my music magazine, including genre, images, target audience and a name for my magazine.

Genre: The genre of my magazine will most likely be metal, metal has a large target audience of varying ages and types of people, this gives me a lot of freedom in what I can do with the magazine.

Target Audience: As a result of choosing metal, my target audience will be aimed at people between 16 and 40 years old, this means that I cannot focus too much on a singular things. The audience would consist of many types of people including: Emo, Goth, MetalHeads, Skaters and many others.

Images: For the Images in my magazine i would likely include at least on of someone head banging, and possibly someone with long hair, screaming into a microphone. They shall be wearing either band shirts or shirts from cupcake cult or something similar, as these fit the genre nicely. The locations used would either be somewhere quite industrial or a concert stage with bright lights.

Masthead: For the masthead, I was thinking of using either Metal-core, or Trash-Mag, these two ideas are both derived from types of metal music, so fit well.

Introduction To Main Task

Now that I have concluded my work on the preliminary task, I shall be moving onto the main task of the project, creating a Music magazine, with a cover, a contents page and, a double page spread. I shall be using the methods learned during the production of the preliminary task, such as how to conduct the research properly and, how to use the technology available to me.
