Music Magazine Front cover Mock up

This is the mock up for my music magazine it shows how i am going to lay out my front cover.

Music Front cover Target Audience Suggestions

After to speaking to my target audience of the classic rock genre and showing my first magazine front cover they had some suggestions for improvements to my Front Cover, it was positive criticism so i looked over there different improvements and changed them to my front cover.  The different improvements were:

·         The text on the right hand side should not be the same font as the mast head.

·         The Text on the right hand side “The Beatles” should be a different colour to “All-time top 20” and the same goes for “The Kinks” “On Lola”

·         The Barcode should be lowered and the price and date should be smaller font.

·         Were it says “Inside free Beatles Poster!!” it should be changed to “Beatles poster inside!!” and there should be a block colour behind “Inside” so it stands out.

1.       I have changed the font from Royal Acid Bath to Segoe UI

2.       As you can see I have changed the text from all red to “The Beatles” to red colour text and changed the font to Segoe UI and for “All Time top 20” it is also Segoe UI but changed the colour of the text to blue I also did this for “The Kinks” and “On Lola”

3.       I have gotten rid of “Free” in “Inside free Beatles poster” and I have taken the suggestions of the audience and changed it to “Beatles Poster inside!!” and I have added a block colour text box behind “Inside” because the people I asked suggested that it would stand out better and catch the readers eye.

4.       The final improvement they suggested to me was to make the barcode smaller and make the text smaller I have done this because it should not of been in big size font it should of bee smaller and I have changed that.

Double page spread Picture Before and After

Before 1.

After 2.

Here is the Picture I am going to use on my magazine double page spread, the reason I picked this picture because it is on landscape and also it looks very calm and relaxed it has a humor side with the people are a sleep but in the top right it says “ON AIR”, as you can tell I have modified the picture and it looks more effective and professional, the sections I have changed to the picture are I have got ridden on the couch and replaced with a blanket on top of the boys also removed the back ground and replaced it with a white brick wall to do this I used the stamp to toll to fill the back ground and I have chosen to make the picture black and with to give it an old effect the only thing that is not in black and white is the “ON AIR” letters they are in red so that they can be seen.  I also used the spot healing tool on all the actors.

Music Magazine Title Evaluation

The name which I have decided to name my music magazine is JUKEBOX the reason I choose this name is because I believe it fits the genre which is Classic Rock perfectly.  The type of bands I wish to capture around is the Beatles, The Who and the Kinks etc and these are all so the ear around 1960- 1970 and the title Jukebox fits because around the 1960s is when the Jukebox started to become more famous in America and around the world and they were also being used for inspiration for songs because the Kinks created a song called Jukebox Music in the 1970s.  I believe the choice of my Title covers the elements of the 1960s and 70s with hip and swinging music.

I had also come up with a few other ideas for titles which I decided not to use.  One was “Stone”, the reason I decided not to use this title was because it was very imaginative and also short and it not very catchy so it could be forgotten by the readers and it was to simple and had no meaning to the genre choice.Another name which i thought of was "Match Box" but i decided not to use this name the reason being it was to simple and not imaginative and i wanted a name which the reader would see and know straight away what type of genre this music magazine was aimed at.

Music Magazine font styles

I have chosen the font Royal Acidbath to use as my title font, this is because the style of the font fits in with the genre of music i have chosen of classic rock and this looks like an old retro font and it fit in perfectly with the style of my magazine, the title is called JUKEBOX and i decided that the font looked better in all caps this is because the ending of the letters all have long tails on the end of them and it makes the front cover more eye catching and attractive.

I also did try three other styles of font when selecting the title font:
