my magazine genre/target audience/representation/meaning
I would like the colour of my masthead font to
be a grey/white colour. The grey will be pale, to add the bold look rather than a dark grey which gives off a drab appearance. The grey stimulates the dark connotation of alternative music and its change from the mainstream media.
The font used in my mast head will be
Rockwell Extra Bold. This is because the look stands out and is very eye-catching, it is different from other fonts which represents the genre, how it is different. Also, my target audience is teenagers mostly (boy/girl mix genders), and represents them as teenagers are socially different from the rest of the world.
The colour of any cover lines on the magazine
will be a black colour, this gives off the dark and alternative look to the usual appealing light colours of mainstream music commonly used.
I have decided to use Times New Roman as the
font type, this is because though the look is sophisticated, this adds to the contrast of mainstream music which is all over the place. Alternative music has a standard form, allowing a consistency of chord types and beats throughout songs. The font represents this to the audience and I feel it would be the best choice to use for my cover lines.
