Mast head ideas for magazine

The following masthead i designed where created using www.cooltext.com where i looked through each text design and picked my two favourite which i felt would go best with my magazine.

I decided to go with the bottom design as i felt it was the most necessary for my magazine, it is bold and which and on a blue background it will stand out very well compared to the rest of the magazine front cover.

Photo Shoot Images

These are the following images i took for my magazine front cover, double page spread and contents page. I will be editing these images trying to see which ones look best for each page of my magazine.

Photo Shoot Planning for my magazine

I have planned to do my photography shoo for my chart music magazine on the 3rd of April. I have will be using my friend to take photos of her for my front cover which will be taking on a plain wall at my house. This took a while asi had to try taking the photo in all different angles trying to find the best shot for my magazine. I then took another friend of mine to a bridge overlooking the country side trying to get an image with a great view behind her. This went very well as it only took to shots to get the best possible image. Last of all i got more of my friends to come to my house so i can take photos of them generally just messing around so i could catch them in action and also to give it an unplanned effect to the photo. I have been inspired by vibe magazine, i have looked through its magazines and it has helped me to decide what type of shots i want for my magazine.

Contents Page analysis

 The reason i have chosen to analyse this magazine contents page is because i am going to try and design mine so that it is very similar. I will be trying to make my chosen image stand out compared to the rest of the page as shown on this contents and all have my contents text similar but using a different colour scheme.

Double Page Spread Analysis

I have chosen to analyse these to double page spreads as i was mine to be similar, as shown in the second image it has the main images covering all of the first page then a small article on the right hand side, this is the type of look i will be trying to achieve when creating my magazine.

Magazine front pages analysis

I have chosen to analyse these to magazines as the main image on them both covers most of the page, this is the type of thing  i will be trying to achieve when creating my magazine front cover. I will be taking a close up of a person for the front cover then editing to my chosen them.

Name ideas for my magazine

The type of things I thought of when trying to find a name for my chart music magazine were:

sound

music

charts

tunes

top 10

beat

loud

With all of these words I came up with possible magazine names as shown below:

TOPMusic

T10T

TUNE

The final name i decided to call my magazine was 'T10T' which stands for 'Top 10 Tunes'. I chose this name as I think it is very simple yet clever to call a chart music magazine.
