House style

House style

 
 
In my magazine i have chosen to mainly use the colours Red,White and Black. I have chosen them because red is naturally an attractive colour that catches the eye of customers and it's brightness also appeals to younger audiences it also contrasts well with the dark backgrounds making it stand out even further.I have chosen the black and white combination for my magazine because not only does it make the white text stand out further but it also is a key convention of the classical Rock magazine. For my house style i chose to use 3 columns and a large amount of other quotes, plugs and puffs because i feel it makes the magazine look more busy and energetic again appealing to my younger audience.

For my House style i used mostly bold text because it made my article alot more informal and stands out a great deal to my chosen audience as appose to more formal fonts that do not work with the kind of style i am going for.

Initial font ideas


Initial font ideas

I have compiled a short list of possible fonts to use in my magazine for example the following.

The Revolution

The Revolution

The Revolution

The Revolution

I have chosen the third option because I think that it has a more classical style that links into the genre of my magazine and also the fact that it is bold and attracts attention.
