Sketch Design Ideas

After deciding on the name ECHO for my magazine I sketched three possible front covers, a contents page and a double page spread as design ideas for my music magazine to help decide what font/colours/layout I will use

These designs helped me decide what font, layout, style and colour scheme I will be using for my magazine

After using my mind-map to brainstorm possible ideas for the name of my magazine I settle on the name 'ECHO'. I chose this because it is simple but also has a lot of impact. It could also reference the echoing of music or rumours etc which will be in the magazine. Next I decided to try out different fonts that could be used for the masthead and logo

I have designed a mindmap to help decide what would be included in the magazine, who the target audience is and possible names for the magazine

Here is my Digital Collage for my Music Magazine Research

I have made a digital collage to help gain ideas about what people who like my music genre (indie/rock) enjoy to try and help design my music magazine for this genre

I have annotated my collage to talk about what I have found.

These are my 3 annotated Music Magazine double page spreads to help with research for my Music Magazine Research

These are my 2 annotated existing Music Magazine Contents pages to help with my research for my music magazine

These are 3 annotated current music magazine covers for my chosen genre to help with research
