Photoshoot pictures

These are the 29 photo’s from my photo-shoot that I have decided to use in my magazines front cover, contents page and double page spread. I may  edit some of them in Photoshop to make them better suited for the layout of my magazine, or to better fit with the overall style of my magazine.

 

Magazine name and font evaluation

The ideology or feel that I want my indie magazine to convey is that this is a more highbrow, artistic magazine than some others. This will have to be evident in my magazines layout and connotations but possibly most important is my magazines name. Because of this I have considered various titles that could fit this style, and would encourage my target audience, who I would say analyse music more in depth than most. Some initial ideas for names were: The Pallet, The Canvas, Artist, Inspired/Inspirer, and Sophisticate. Eventually I decided on The Canvas as my magazines name, partly because I think it has the best ring to it, but mostly because I believe it serves as the best connotation for what I want my magazine to be, a canvas with the purpose of being filled with art, which again, is want my target audience will view music as.  

After deciding on my magazine name I had to consider what font I wanted to use for it. Like the name itself, the font would have to purvey a sort of sophisticated look that my target audience would be able to identify with. These 3 fonts are the most likely I will use (one of which is simply an italicized version of the other).

 While I may change my mind later in production, at this point I think I will use this font for my magazine name. I also have not yet considered the colour of the font, which I will probably decide when constructing my front cover
