Font Analysis
FONT ANALYSIS
This is the analysis of the fonts that I may use in my magazine...
"The
Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Lazy Dog"
"The Quick Brown
Fox Jumped Over The Lazy Dog"
Garamond: This font is much harder to read than century Gothic as it is slightly more edged. The fact that this font is edged gives a more distinctive look and makes it look more professional, this could be a possible font within the magazine.
"The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Lazy Dog"
“The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Lazy Dog”
Comic Sans MS: Like Century Gothic this is a very clean and simple font that is easily read. This font is very consistent in both lower case and capitals which will allow me to use one font throughout the whole magazine which would add to the consistency of the magazine. This font is probably the best choice for my magazine.

explanation of how the results will effect my construction
Explanation of how the results will affect
my construction.
The results from my questionnaire have helped aid me in my previous theory as in my questionnaire I have found that RnB, Pop and Drum+Base are the most listened to style of music. This will affect my construction as RnB is the style that is listened to mostly, which means that my magazine will be either aimed at the RnB audience or the Pop audience.
The Price of my magazine will be around the same price range as most music magazines as most people would only be willing to pay up to £3 for a music magazine. this is going to aid my construction as my magazine will be priced at £2.99. this price is the most used for magazines.
I have also found out that using a better know artist on the front cover helps the producer sell the magazine, so therefor I will be using a know person for the main artist on the cover, also I have noticed that a better looking artist on the cover reaches a wider audience as they are drew in by the beauty.
The contents of the magazine also has a very big effect as a wide variety of people would like music magazines to also contain other aspects such as fashion, gossip and information on important things. Although music magazines mainly feature music, most people would buy them more often if they were to contain other aspects aswell.
How I will use the knowledge gained from research
How will i use the knowledge gained from my research
in my construction?
The knowledge I have attained from the research I have done so far will aid me in my construction as I now know the main styles for music magazine covers, contents pages and double page spreads. The main aspects covered in these pages would be images of artists that look very professional and also advertisements and small articles featuring other artists and those featured anyway.
Another thing that will aid me in my construction will be the types of music magazine that are most likely to be brought and also the styles of music that are mainly listened to. these include artists such as eminem, usher, Cheryl Cole and many other RnB/pop artists.
my main types of music i will look at is RnB, Pop and Drum + Base as these types of music are mainlylistened to and will be featured in my questionaire.

This double page spread features the solo artist Cheryl Cole, the use of the capital C in red really catches the eye of the audience and is also quite clever as it is also the initial of Cheryl's name. The colour scheme for this double page spread would be black, white and red. The uses of these colours are quite popular as they make the most effective and efficiant shceme of colours to make the most presentable magazine. The image of Cheryl that takes up a whole page really stands out against the white background making the page look neat, also Cheryl is looking towards the capital C creating a mystery for the audience as they want to know where and what the subject is looking at. This DPS uses two main images of cheryl one is of her at either a concert/party. As she is dressed in quite wierd outfits in both images contrast with the anchorage text "i don't know what i look like anymore. Do you know what i mean". This makes the audience want to help cheryl as from this one part of text the audience feels missery and remorse for her. The images attract the audiences eye as in both images the subject is wearing unusual clothing, this relates to another artist (lady GaGa) as what cheryl is wearing is something the other artist would wear. The text on this DPS is set out in the typical setting of collums this makes it easier to read. the audience for this magazine would most probably be pop music fans and people that look at Cheryl Cole as a role model.

This double page spread mainly features the artist Florence Welsh, from "Florence and The Machines". The large image of Florence is very attractive to the audience as it stands out against the white background, it also takes up a whole page making the double age spread simple but effective. The use of 3/4 colours is very effective as the red in the subjects hair contrasts with the red on the USA flag, as she is wearing black the red really stands out and catches the eye of the audience. Florence is also looking directly at the audience creating direct address. the use of direct address makes the audience feel like they can relate to the subjects as its only good manner to look at someone when they talk to you.
The colour scheme is mostly made up of black, white and grey. This creates a subtle mood as there is not much use of bright/vibrant colours, also this helps with the genre of which the magazine is.
The text on this double page spread is typically set out in collums as this makes it easier for the audience to read the text. Two words in the caption are in a blue colour to symbolise importance, these two words are FLORENCE WELCH. This suggests that the subjects name is quite important or maybe even just to show that shes different to other artists.
This double page spread uses a sort of symetrical layout as it uses both black on white for the text and image. This gives it a appropriate and neat layout. The shape in which the colums are presented are almoast a square ouytlining of the position florence is sitting on the flag.
The 'Got the love' really stands out as it is in a big, black, handwriting font. This also stands out as it is the title of one of Florence's songs. the USA just behind the song title matches together to bing the message of USA's got the love this suggests that the magazine is american and would appeal to a more american audience.
