25 Word Pitch ideas for my magazine

By Balpreet Atkar

Font IdeasThese are all fonts I found on a website called dingbatty.com which offers a variety of fonts from which I have selected a few that caught ,y eye, my decision is not final and may not be based on one of these ideas but I will keep researching. My particular favourite is this one as it is classy as well as unique, however I am not too sure it follows my genre.

Title Ideas (ballin)

I have researched different title ideas by asking friends and looking online at some of my favourite artists lyrics and album names. Overall i have came up with 5 different ideas from which I will select one.

•Diamond- I came up with this as I was looking at picture of a rap artist who had an excessive amount of diamonds on, also it connotes wealth and fame.•Chronic-I chose this name as it was Dr Dre 2001 album name, however the meaning is a little bit inappropriate, however my magazine will be about attitude.•ACE- I chose this name as it is one of the most powerful cards in a deck and it co notates power and the ability to win.•Platinum- I chose this as when a music artist is really successful their album can become platinum and it is a very rare metal so it makes the magazine seem rare and special•OG- I chose this name as my genre is Hip hop/ Rap, and this is a term used to describe an Original Gangster.

Colour PalletsI have carefully selected three styles of colour pallets which i may feature on my magazine, including black and white is key in my opinion as it ensures that the magazine presents class and clarity. I have chosen an extra main colour which I will include on main things like the master head, orange is one of my choices as it is clear and resembles brightness, purple has been chosen as it is a royal colour and appears formal, and lastly I have chosen red which is an obvious choice as most magazines feature this scheme, however i wonder if it is too conventional.

Ideas For Content layoutI have analysed a contents page such as this in my analysis I like the fact that the main image is the focus on the page and that it is in match which the colour pallet, the main heading is also attractive as it is scrambled and stands out, however i am not to keen on the main text of the page as I feel it is too small and does not really look professional.

Ideas For Content layoutThe contents page from the XXL magazine is my second option to form the layout of my contents page around. I feel it is slightly better than the previous model as it uses the space wiser. The main image is still the focus on the page and looks professional. The main title and text is also properly structured which is what I like in a magazine. I think I will use elements of this in my magazine.

Ideas For Content layoutI chose to consider the layout from this magazine as it is an alternative genre and I thought I would branch out, however I do not particularly like the layout or the crammed information on the page, it is all to congested in my opinion.

Ideas for the double page spread

1. Interview with pretend music artist about them returning to the music scene
