These are all possible fonts that i may use in my magazine. The reason i have chosen there fonts is because i think they all have a modern day look to them and also do not look like a Gothic or dance type font. This will be relevant to my magazine as my theme is R&B. Also the reason i want them to modern is because there is a bigger audience in the younger generation than the old.

This is also a layout that i may use for my magazine.

This is a very basic layout that i may use for my final design. I would have to make sure that the font colours etc do not make it confusing to read over the background picture. Also the layout puts the background picture as the main focus on the page.

These will be colour themes that i may use for my magazine:

black/white/blue

black/green/white

white/red/black

white/black/yellow

white/orange/green

white/ shades of blue

white/ shades of green

Now that i have finished my research stage of my blog i am now moving on to planning. The genre i have chosen for my final designs is R&B. I will now plan different elements for my magazine such as pictures, fonts etc to relate to my chosen genre and also to attract the wright target audience.

This is my contents page prelim.

This is my magazine front cover prelim.

This double page spread has alot more going on. It has an overlapping title to put the focus on the headline. They also use a picture in the bottom right with a type of picture frame effect. Also the background relates to the band in the picture. The band are a rocky kind of gothic band so they used red and black gothic type colours also the symol in the middle is also known in rock bands etc. The good thing about this magazine is that while there is alot going on in the background the text is still easy to read and also it doesnt take the focus away from the text or the pictures.

this double page spread is verry basic with a full page pictur of the artist B.I.G . also this relates to the title '' THE B.I.G. PICTURE'' it relates in two ways the first is that the artist is named big and also they have used his name to relate to the title also they used a big picture to relate to the title. They also used an overlapping picture on the I on the bottom left of the first page. also they have used a very basic white background to put the focus of the reader on the picture and the text.
