Masthead Choice, Colours and Article Text


I have chosen this masthead due to a majority vote and to personal preference.
It also happens to be a much more known style of font than the others and much more noticeable and stands out to my colour scheme: colours that coincide with the pattern Tartan.
The tartan represent the more conventional and obvious side to my genre of punky alternative.

The font that I shall be using for everything else (apart from sub-headings) shall be Matteroffact for the more bolder parts that I wish to be more pronounced on the page and Casper SF because it makes the bolder parts stand out even more with it's simplicity and it also is very easy to understand.

Music Magazine Task

I am now starting my Media Coursework project. For this I will have to analyse existing magazines and then make my own. This will count towards 50% of my total AS grade. The Genre of my magazine shall be decided after analysis and observation and the Target Audience shall be those which favour the type of music/genre that I choose.
