Music magazine plans and ideas

THIS IS THE OFFICIAL START OF MY MUSIC MAGAZINE COURSEWORK.
I will be updating this blog post, updating my progress with what I do in lessons and in free time. Happy Following.
Today I have started to choose a masthead name or design. I am looking for a indie looking band which means that it has to be a bit weird or quirky. I want my design different than others.
I will be uploading a design soon enough to shows some of my idea for a name called BACK UP.

 

 

I have names my magazine DRUGGED. This is because I believe that the magazines like this will become addictive and some of the bands that are used in them are also addicting to read about and to follow so i believe the title  fits quite well. Also indie music artists tend to be out of control and may be actually on drugs and wild. The name Drugged links with the font which I have chosen. This was a  distraught look that I found which links to the idea of drugs causing mad things and weird goings on.

 

 

 

 

I like all of these fonts.

I like all of these titles. The other name that I may change it to is FLAWD. I like this because sometimes the music can be flawd and I generally like the way it looks as a music magazine title. I may change my mind with drugged and flawd however. I don't seem to be able to make my mind up.

I particularly like this font.

 

 I have chosen the FLAWD logo and the first one that you can see. I have however changed the A in it to bold and with a red outline to make it a bit different and to stand out. The word flawed except the A is also blurred.

 I am wanting some photos of maybe a band of 3 -5 people. On the front with them either being funny or serious looking into the screen almost like these. I want these as my COVER PHOTO.

 This one is just fun and I like it.

 This one look more sophisticated.

 I like the simplicity of this one. But the arrangement is really good and I would like to do something like this.

 I like this one because of the expressions on their faces..

 I like these, because they are different and it just looks good on the front cover.

I really like these below as ideas for contents pages.

  I like this contents page because of the picture and because there isn't too much information.

   MASTHEAD. THIS IS THE ONE I AM STICKING TO EVEN THOUGH THE A MIGHT CHANGE THE WHOLE THING IS EXACTLY WHAT I'M DOING. MY MAGAZINE IS CALLED FLAWD.

 

I have also created a tag line for the band and what will draw the attention in.  

 

 

 

I am trying to get hold of a band that lives next door to my dad so that I can use them as my music magazine,. they fit the style of it as well.   

 

 

This is my magazine so far. It has some cover line and the main headline and the title of it. It also have some unique selling points. I really just need photography.
