Planning for Print

Genre: Afrobeats/Bashement
Colour scheme for fonts 1:

Green

Yellow

Red

Gold for the borders

These colours work very well as they represent the countries they come from. Ghana has these colours in there flag and reggea is the mother of bashement so we instantly associate these colours to
these countries and specfic countries.It adds flavour to the magazine. However its not as original as I think it could be so im still going to explore more colour schemes that go with the genre and also make it more urban.

I will definatly be keeping the gold because gold equals wealth and my target audience are aspirers. Aspirers for a new trend, the latest trend.  

The mast head will be either:
 
 This font is called 'capture' and it lives up to its name. Although my music african I am introducing it to a more young urban culture so it will mix with culture and urbanisation.

This font captured not only my eye but my target audience aswell because of its design. Instantly we think of Zebras with these stripes and Zebras do come from Africa. This is also adding culture as well as an Urban background to suit the class in which most of my target audience come from. 

The title will always be black. It is formal but also collides with every other colour well. 

Logo inspirations:

 Although I will not be using this picture exactly, this will influence my design as the image speaks for afrobeats as well as bashement.



Picture locations:  How succesful my locations are partly depend on the weather. Hopefully, if the weather is kind, the pictures will be taken on a dry sunny day. If not, I will make the most of the grim weather London has on offer in order to influence more tourists as well as the national audience.

If I were to have this as a layout it would relate to my young audience as it would be more eye catching and as it is cluttered most teens could relate to it due to the fact that teens have a lot to say especially during the age when they are coming to find themselves.  However it wouldn't look as sophisticated so I want my magazine to be a mixture of sophisticated and eye catching as well.

I hope to gain my target audiences attention with my cover star's outfit as well as direct mode of address.

This layout is more typical of a gossip style rather then a music magazine. I liked it because it is something most young adults would pick up from a shelf because it's the most eye catching.
