Progress report

What my initial ideas where My initial thoughts where to create a magazine aimed at

the class of C1-D as the underground scene is associated with clubbers however after further analysis of other magazines I realised that due to the genre being a niche product the people that follow the underground scene will be an active audience adding a level of sophistication to the magazine. The sleek design I want to recreate would also portray a level of sophistication.

What my ideas are now

I have now decided to change the income bracket of what audience I want to aim my magazine at to B-E. Giving the magazine a wider stance broadens how I can design the magazine and what content I can use.

As for magazine design I would like a simple sophisticated layout

Design of front cover – my thoughts

With the front cover I want to keep it simple having as less writing on it as possible. At the moment I am thinking of a close of someone.

Below are covers of magazines I have found that I am using to influence my work

Design of front

These are cover design that I do not like and feel as though they are for the less sophisticated due to the messiness

Cover work

I would like to base my font styles on a sans condensed font. Bold and striking and instantly recognisable.

The font title will be in a condensed style so I can use a long title that does not take up a lot of space on the cover but is still impactful.

I have chosen a simple font so I have the option to cover up some parts of the letters yet the name will still be legible
