Intial thoughts and Ideas

For my magazine I have several ideas which I am going to take considerable amount of time developing them. As my aim is to produce a magazine that is different from the mainstream ones, but still keep to the codes and coventions as that is the way to produce a successful magazine. My artist would be female singer with a good sense of fashion; an icon for teenage girls and young women to follow. Along with this, male's would treasure the beauty and fall in love with the photographs. I believe the title of the magazine plays a huge role in sales as it has to be relivant to the magazine.The magazine 'Vibe' is an inspiration to me as it has the same target market and genres as the magazine I am aiming to produce. Also the name 'Vibe' gives you sense of the genre music and immediately recognise it is a music magazine. The colours that I am considering to use are red, black, white and grey. The theme will run through the three pieces, this will represent that the pieces are together not individual. For the font I will use few styles as I would like the cover to be attractive not boring. The cover will contain a mid- shot of  my artist looking striaght forward; eye contact with the consumer.

This cover is appealing as the white background is drawing attention to the colourful, attractive fonts and the artist in the middle is posing with attitude. The black top of the atist fits in with the theme which brings the cover together. The title is slightly covered with the head of the artist as it is showing power. The font colour and size has been change through out the cover. This shwos creativity and keeps the reader captured along with interested to read further. The Sharp deep bright colours such as red, white, grey and black suggest a sense of power.This theme has excellent variety of textures. Overall it is a well presented cover as they is no negatives that could be critised.
