Mood Boards;

Name and Masthead designs;

After deliberating on a few different fonts for my magazine I settled on using a bold font for the front cover title because I feel that it'll suit the magazine and what it is about. The headlines for the articles will also be in a bold font but it'll be different from the title of the magazine because I think they show different things.

Fonts and Colour Pallettes;

The font on the front cover will be 'Edition' because I think that it really suits the magazines front cover and makes it seem like a professional magazine because it's not a 'fun' font. The font for the headlines will be 'Bebas' because it is bold and draws attention to the headline so that people automatically know what the article will be about. It is also not a distracting font so the readers attention won't be drawn from the actual text. I used 'Trajan Pro' for the articles because it is easy to read and looks neat without being too 'in your face' with looped letters and it's not a standard font.

The colour scheme that I used for Young Readers is light blue, black and white because I think that blue is a neutral colour for both teen boys and girls without it being 'girly' so that boys won't want to read it. I originally thought of using a grey colour scheme with a bold accent colour like red but decided not to go with that colour scheme because that might be more suited towards the older audience instead of the young adult audience that my magazine is aimed at.

Imagery;

Most of the images used will be my own photography to avoid copyright and also so that the images in the magazine will be creative and reflect my own ideas of what the magazine is about. The pictures were taken in natural lighting with an iPhone because I want the magazine to be aimed at younger people so I didn't want the quality to be that of a really expensive camera.
