Colour Wheel-5

Research into fonts-4


    

Finally I have decided to choose font three 'Dumbnerd' this is because of the simplistic design that allows the wordmark typeface to stand out. It is bold and in the colour black also which means it fits any colour that will be presented on my music magazine. I have chosen to represent this font for my title because it is in the form of something not only artistic but informal and stylish that fits my target audience. It is a hand drawn font which links to the ideal street wear related to my grime magazine.
The colour is plain which represents the simplicity that the designer (myself) wants to focus on the user as well as the title. It leaves the artistic image and gives the street design that kids of the 21st century can relate to, it is also attractive to more teenagers and it is perhaps more different compared to a lot of elegant designs or you would see in other music magazines. The font is intended to suit someone who is rather laidback and trendy and someone who keeps up with the latest music trends.

Magazine Names-3



Out of the 7 options above on the brainstorm map, I have chosen to pick "SFX Grime" as my magazine name, this conforms to my ideal music magazine. This will ensure that it fits to my needs of my target market. It is also a catchy name to pick up and will stand out on my magazine cover. It is also short and snappy and people who would like the genre of grime will understand what the name is.

1. question 1 shows me that on average more males answered the questionnaire, this allows me to deduct from the current information that my magazine will be mainly advertised to more boys/men. I may need to consider some parts of my magazine to alter such as the male gaze to be included in my music magazine.

2. The bar chart on question 2 shows me that ages 16-20 were the most popular group to answer my questionnaire, this lets me know that it is mainly young adults and teenagers that have answered my questionnaire. This means that during my music magazine I need to be able to find out what is popular within the youth category in today's music culture.

3. Using the bar chart that I have provided I have found out that people ages 16-20 would spend roughly £2-£3 on a music magazine, from the results I am able to infer that university students have a budget of what they're willing to spend on their hobbies which allows me to make sure that my music magazine is cost effective to my target market.

4. Following question 4 I am able to see that there is a wide range of results in the pie chart that has been provided but roughly 25% out of 100 tells me that people chose Grime as their favourite genre of music, this allows me to focus on one genre of my music magazine to be able to keep my audience happy and to be able to specify the needs of the people buying my product,

5. Question 5 tells me that within a month roughly 30 people read up to 4 magazines a month, this shows me that I should release my music magazines weekly to keep up with the latest charts and trends. This also means that my target market is able to keep their purchases on hobbies cost effective.

6. The following people who answered my questionnaire on their preferred way to access music is through streaming, this means through things such as spotify, youtube or even itunes music. I am able to provide cost effective free apps to listen to their favourite artists by using a discount code from my music magazine.

7. Question 7 shows me that on average a wide range of people buy different music magazines related to different genres that they like, when people chose 'other' it allows me to be keen on what kind of music magazine to buy that will stand out from other music magazines.

8. On question 8 there were many mixed views on what contents my audience likes to read about ranging from interviews with there favourite artist or group to the upcoming concerts and festivals. This gives me an easier task of what to include in my double page spread.

9. Moving on to question 9 I can see that most of the people answered said they either worked part time or was unemployed, the rate shows me that as students. The pay for a part time worker is low meaning that I can keep my magazine affordable for my audience and won't have to spend much printing my music magazine.

10. A lot of my audience answered that they are still in full time education, meaning college, sixth form or university. This allows me to understand my target market a lot more and what kind of trends they look for within a magazine. I can also include student discounts for CD's and gigs in my music magazine
