BRAINSTORMING NAME IDEAS

When thinking of names for my music magazine I decided to go down the route of thinking of names which have connotations of my chosen genre. The

music genre I have chosen is the Post hardcore/Alternative music genre so which to me has connotations of edgy and rebellious. When looking for names for my music magazine I have used a thesaurus and I have also looked through my iPod for songs which have that connotation.

HOW I WILL GO ABOUT THINKING OF NAMES

NAMES I CAME UP WITH

For my chosen name I have chosen to pick ‘LOUD!’ I have chosen to do this because I think it has a musical feel to it

as people tend to assume alternative music tends to be loud and noisy which is why I have chosen to do ‘Loud!’. From

my research into other brands of which Kerrang! stood out to me the most. I believe it stood out to me the most

because of the explanation mark which I believe is why it stood out, out of all the titles I looked at. The explanation

mark makes me think that the word is being shouted at like it’s something important which is what I want my magazine to feel like to the readers, that it is something which they

will want to shout about and tell everyone.

CHOSEN NAME

For my colour scheme I wanted a colour which would appeal to my audiences which is male and females between the ages of 16-18 as from my questionnaire that was the most popular age. For my

colours I have chosen to do a teal and a white together as I believe that these colours are colours which appeal to both

male and females.

COLOUR SCHEME

When choosing my font for my magazine I looked at both the fonts

on Photoshop and the fonts on a popular font website called Dafont. To

create my fonts on Dafont I print screened the font and edited the colours and background using

Illustrator and Photoshop.

FONTS

PHOTOSHOP

These are my chosen fonts I found from

Dafont. When looking for my font I chose to look at a vase amount

of fonts from fancy writing to block

writing. When looking at these fonts the best

one I think is the second left one which has an eroded/grunge look to it which I think would fit into my music genre because of the edgy connotation that

this genre of music has.

These are my chosen fonts I found from

Photoshop. The fonts I found on Photoshop

were a lot more similar than the ones of Dafont which had a lot more to

chose from and were very different. These fonts were more bold

and out there in comparison to the ones

of Dafont.

PHOTOSHOP FONTS

This is my chosen font for my magazine. For my font I have chosen to pick one off of Dafont. I

think this font shows the grunge/edgy look which would fit for my magazine and the music genre for my magazine. I like the fast speed look it has to it as well as if the font has been captured quickly. I think the colour works for the audience because

it’s a colour which is for both genders.
