Google Mock Up

This is the google mock-up that I am going to base my magazine on. As I am doing an RnB/HipHop magazine, I have chosen colours that suit the genre such as black, white and red, as these colours are typically associated to the genre because they are not to bright and colourful.

My Price

• find out price
• find out whether its monthly or weekly
• find out how many pages

Q

• £3.99
• Monthly
• 138 pages

XXL

• £3.95
• Monthly
• 114 pages

Mixmag

• £4.95
• Monthly
• 130 pages

The cost of my magazine will be £3.99, as the people who answered my questionnaire suggested this as a reasonable price that they would pay for a monthly magazine.
I think this is a good price as it is not too expensive that people wouldn't buy it, but also not under priced for a monthly magazine.

Names For My Magazine

I have decided to do an RnB/ HipHop magazine

These are the names that I came up with for my magazine, but instead of choosing myself I am going to ask other people which name they prefer, to see other peoples opinions.

• Attitude
• Pulse
• Force
• Energy
• Spirit
• Soul
• Beat
• Bass

50% of the people I asked preferred 'Beat' as the name of my magazine, and the other 50% chose a mixture between 'Attitude' and 'Soul', so I have decided to name my magazine Beat, as it had the majority of votes.

Masthead Design

These are some the fonts I tried out for the masthead of my magazine.
I am going to use the top right font - Bauhaus 93 - as it looks the most modern out of them all and also links in more with the genre of my magazine. I decided against the bottom three as they are very thin writing and not bold enough for an RnB/Hiphop magazine, and the Forte font is to fancy and formal for the genre of my magazine.
