Planning of music magazine

Magazine Music Genre: 
R&B mixed with a variety colours ; the reason for this is because as a group we have decided to have bright colours in the summer issue however, cool colours in the near winter issue as it creates the session atmosphere that we are looking for. 
Also, we have decided to go for the similar layout that all R&B magazines use because; it is more sophisticated and classy.

For example; this vibe magazine that i found:

This music magazine issue has bright colours to it that stand out, for example; yellow, light green, pink, light orange ect. However, it has that layout that my group were looking for, not all over the place, but neatly placed, like how R&B magazines covers have their layout.





Different texts:

- Calibri - TUNE
- Bauhaus 93 - TUNE
- Edwardian script ITC  - TUNE
- Monotype corsiva - TUNE
- Impact - TUNE
- Times new roman. TUNE
- Arial Black - TUNE

We have decided that the font ‘Bauhaus 93’ gives a more music feel about the magazine so, we went along with it.
Also, We have decided to make the title colour dark purple for my issue and bright yellow for my partners title as it is eye catching, and draw the readers attention into the title as well as making the font in a BOLD text which then grabs the eye of the reader and makes the title more recognisable. However, the colour of the title of the magazine changes when it comes to different issues, for example; a summer (jun/july ect) would have a bright colour however, a winter (nov/dec ect) would be more to the darker colours.

Ideas for name

- Tempo   - Tune  - Chamber  -MM (music matters)  -MFT (music for them) 
 -TMM (the music magazine)

As a group we have chosen three simple eye catching titles, and three acronyms for the title as it would be effective and draw the attention of the reader.

Reason for acronmys as the title:
MFT (music for them) –
I used an acronym here because; it can be more effective and also, i thought what it could stand for. 'FHM' is a men's magazine which stands for 'For him magazine' so i thought i could combine my two idea's into 'Music For Them'. 'Them' could stand for everyone in the UK and worldwide.

TMM (the music magazine) –
This is a very simple and clear title, somtimes titles being simple can be effective because; it can be easier to remember for the audience. For example; QQ(the music magazine), it is simple and clear therefore, people recongnise and remember it.

MM (music matters) –
The title means a lot because music does matter. I shortened it to letters because; it would be more effective. The use of the repitition of the same letter could make it more memorable and eye catching as it attractes te attention of the potential audience.

However, the three simple titles are very casual and also, it could be a magazine to be easily remembered like for example; Vibe. This therefore illustrates that the most well-known magazines have simple and catchy titles.

As a group we have shortened the titles to the most appealing and effective title for us, which were 'Tune' and 'Chamber'. We then carried out a survey asking people in our school and out-side school from ages 14-24. The reason we are asking from ages 14-24 because; that is our target audience also, it isn't a small minority but, it wide range which would turn out to be very successful. 

RESULTS: 

TUNE   30

CHAMBER  11

Looking at the results, we have come to a conclusion to have ‘Tune’ as the title of our music as it would attract more potential readers which will then make out magazine more successful also, the title 'TUNE' has a more music feel to it than 'chamber' as it draws in more potential readers.

LOGO FOR OUR NEW MAGAZINE:

This isn't in colour, it is a draft for our logo that we designed on paper.
