Conclusion
From the results of my questionnaire i have concluded that my magazine will be called underground and the main colours will be grey, red and yellow. The font i am going to use for my mast head is Elephant. The font i am using for the writing on the front cover of my magazine is Rockwell Extra Bold and all the writing on the cover will be in capital letters to help it stand out and catch the audiences eye. it is going to include Rock and Indie bands as they were the most popular choices. Underground will be similar to Kerrang and NME as they focus on the same genre of music i plan to write about and were most read by the people who filled in my questionnaire. My double page spread is going to be an article written on a band called KeepYourDayJob and will cover things such as there latest tour, up and coming albums and new styles. There will be one large picture of the band to show their image. The picture is going to be a mid shot so that you can see there clothes as well as there expressions. I plan to make my magazine entertaining and informative as these are the most important aspects and the main reasons why people buy them. For the picture on my front cover i am going to use a close up of a person so that you can see their facial expression and hair and makeup. the picture has to be bold to catch the attention of the reader. I am going to put some of the headlines in reversed out text with red or yellow words on a grey or black back ground. some of the elements in my magazine include album reviews, Music news, Gig reviews, Top ten new tracks and Interviews with band members all listen in the contents page.
