Fonts, colours and analysis

These are the fonts which I have chosen to use on my magazine. I have chosen 10 as I think having a wide range of different fonts will make the magazine more interesting and appealing. I have chosen the colours black, crimson, yellow and white as I think these colours work well together and relate closely to my rock theme which my magazine is based around. I didn't chose many colours to use for my magazine content as I wanted to keep it simple. If there were too many colours the magazine may look busy, unorganised and unneat and this isn't good as I want my magazine to look professional and having minimal colours for my fonts will make it look professional.
The fonts which I have used are (in order from top to bottom):
-Minion Pro Bold Cond Italic
-Adobe Fangsong Std R
-Adobe Garamond Pro Italic
-Edwardian Script ITC Regular
-Baskerville Old Face Regular
-Adobe Caslon Pro Regular
-Myraid Pro Regular
-Calibri Bold
-Adobe Garamond Pro Bold
-Adobe Garamond Pro Bold Italic

Final Products- Magazine

Advertises mood board

I chose these companies as I thought these would be appropriate to be advertised in my magazine. Some of the companies are more upper class which may be a problem as some of my audience wouldn't be able to afford these items therefore it would be pointless advertising them as the company would not get any business. 

I added companies which my audience may be able to afford like, Vans, Converse, Topshop, Nikon and Fujifilm and this way my magazine would be more appealing as I am advertising companies which my audience would be interested in.

Mood board analysis

My mood board is only small as my target audience is not a group that can afford a lot but there are expensive things on my mood board such as the car, guitars, 'Beats' headphones and drums. These are not necessarily things they would buy but their interested instead. My mood board lacks bright colours as this group prefer more darker shades. I've tried to add the most important things which helps gives a better mental image of my target audience. 

My first mood board

This is my original mood board which I had created. I made another mood board as I felt this one did not correctly match my target audience. Some pieces of this mood board match my target audience like the camera, guitar and Twitter.

Location, Props and Costumes

I used my home as my location to do my photo-shoot as here I was able to set up my studio lights. I had a full which wall which I used as a background for my model. I only used one prop which was a guitar amplifier and this is what she sat on and was also part of my picture. My model was dressed in a blue and white striped dress and a leather jacket. I thought the blue wasn't really a rock colour so I decided on a colour which would be and I would edit that later on when I came to designing my magazine.
