1. Final Mood Board:Colours These are the colours I have decided to use for my front cover magazine. As my magazine has been classified as ‘female pop’ I would like to show the female feeling but using feminine colours throughout. The colour pink is commonly used by girls so I thought this would be appropriate. I also want to keep the colours quite simple so by adding the black and white I don’t get too much contrast and the front cover wont be too noisy.
2. Font choice The font types I will be using are: Calibri (headings) Lucida Calligraphy Papyrus I have chose to use these three fonts as they are clear and easy to read but still make the writing look attractive. I will use the ‘Lucida Calligraphy’ font for mainly the subheading and quotes and will use the ‘Calibri’ font for the information and long paragraphs. I think these fonts will also suit my genre and my targeted audience as they look fun and don’t give off a serious atmosphere.
3. Use of Flashes I do not think I shall be using many different shapes and flashes on my magazine front cover. I think I may add little individual stars in certain places to add to the feminine side of the magazine. I will add these by using tools on Photoshop.
4. Mode of Address During my magazine I am going to write the information in standard English so that all the text is understandable and clear. On the front page to add to theme and relate to my targeted audience there may be use of ‘slang’ terms or text speak. I plan to use exclamation marks, questions marks and fun punctuation to emphasize certain points and this will also suit my targeted audience. I also plan to use numbers instead of letters in some occasions to make the whole feeling of the magazine chilled out.
6. This are my final four images, I plan to use the first image on my front cover and then the rest on my contents and double page spread. I am really happy with the outcome of my images. I feel they look professional and sophisticated which was exactly the look I was going for. I believe they will look good in my magazine.
