Colour Scheme Ideas, Name Ideas and Feature Story Ideas

This is my initial research for my colour scheme ideas, my name ideas and my feature story ideas. I collected this research together in order to underline and cross out any flaws that I found in my research. I want my magazine to scream the Classic Rock genre to my target audience therefore by undergoing specific research like colour scheme ideas, name ideas and feature story ideas, this is help me to decided the basics of my magazine.

Colour Scheme Ideas

This is my chosen colour scheme idea. I have chosen the colour black as it is an iconic colour of the Classic Rock genre, as well as it being voted by my target audience one of the colours most associated with the Classic Rock genre. Black is a dark colour which holds connotations of death and fierceness to the audience therefore supporting the overall theme of my magazine: rebellious.

Next, I have chosen the colour white to complement the colour black. White is an easy colour that holds connotations of purity and angelic concepts therefore this contrasts with the dark colour of black. White was also voted for by my target audience and therefore, I will be responding to my audiences feedback.

Finally, I have chosen the colour red which has always been used throughout the Classic Rock genre. This will allow me to maintain the conventions of the Classic Rock genre throughout my magazine and therefore allow me to create a successful magazine that is created to a high standard. Red was highly voted for by my target audience and therefore I will respond to my audiences feedback in order to adapt my magazine around my audience. 

Name Ideas

When establishing the name of my magazine, I researched many different names such as 'shake', 'rock', 'fender' and 'master'. Although I have chosen the word 'rock' for the name of my magazine, I am unsure as to which font I will choose. When producing my Google Mock-ups I will trial both fonts (Ariel Black in bold and Karmakooma on 1001fonts.com) in order to establish which font is the most effective font for the front cover of my magazine.
