Audience Profile

I created this to give a very general and stereotypical view of what my audience for my magazine would be like/look like. I give a general over view of what sort of people would read my magazine and then a fake example of a type of person I would expect. Then there is a small collage of pictures to represent the audience.

Contents Ideas

Contents Ideas

These are the potential things that I plan to include on my contents page for my magazine. This is helpful as it means I can simply look at this when creating my contents page to see what I could include on it.

Colours

When choosing the colour scheme for my magazine I took inspiration from other punk rock magazines to see the colours that they used. Reds, yellows, blacks, whites and blues were very popular, so then it was simply a case of choosing three of these colours to repetitively use throughout my magazine. I knew that I would include the colour black as it is key to the genre and style of the magazine, moreover, I feel it is important to have such a basic bases colour in the scheme.

I turned to my survey results to decide which colour scheme I would choose, as the audience are the people who would read the magazine so it is important to make sure it is tailored to them as well. The results showed that red, white and black were the most popular colours, so I decided to go with them. Black, yellow and white was the second most popular and I considered it, however, I chose red as red was more favoured over yellow, but it would also show up more. 

 

This explains the colour scheme that I chose for my magazine and why I chose these three main colours. I use my survey to help me decide and general inspiration from the music genre. This allows me to develop an idea of what I will base my magazine around when designing it. 

Mood Board

I created this mood board for my magazine so that I can sum up the general style and vibe of my magazine through pictures. It is a useful thing to make as it allows me to see what sort of route I want to go down when designing my magazine eg colour schemes, pictures and the overall style of my magazine. 

Cover Lines

I made this to show all of the cover-lines that I have included on the front cover of the magazine I have created. I explain why they work and why I made/chose them as the cover-lines I include and why they are appropriate to the magazine. 

Masthead Names and Designs Ideas

I came up with ideas of what my masthead for my magazine would be, and the effectiveness of each of those mastheads, my favourites and why some would and would not work. Additionally, once I had chosen the masthead name, I designed lots of different ways it could look and then chose my favourite out of all of them.

Promotional Methods

Promotional Methods

Promotional Methods are very important when creating a magazine as it will help me to see how I would go about promoting it so it can become successful and to get people to notice it if it were to be made into one. It allows me to see what ways I promote my magazine and makes the magazine feel more realistic.
