Magazine Mood Board

Images Of Magazine Layouts These are some examples of magazine layouts from the magazine ‘Q’ and ‘NME’. They are both music magazines that fit the genre of music for my chosen band. I need to look at how they have used the imagery, fonts and colours in these magazines and think about how I can incorporate that in my designs. They all have very similar styles and I think this is what I need to look at because I need mine to fit in with the style of magazine to work well.

Sample ImagesOn the first page of my layout I will be using an image of all the band members. This will give the readers a visual look of the band if they don’t know who they are already. I then want to use an image of the main singer Alex Turner on the second page. This is because when I did my interview with the fan, her favorite band member was him so I felt this would connect the image with the text and give the audience a visual look of the singer.

Text Fonts

Heading Fonts

I will need a really bold and chunky font for the headline and for the text it will be quite a clear and simple font.

Colour Scheme

Both NME and Q have very similar colour schemes and they focus on reds, whites and black. The red and white is bright and clean and the black stands out against the white and the red so I think all of these colours work really well together. I feel that these kinds of colours will work for my magazine and to focus on bright colours that are going to stand out.
