Typography

After analysing several music magazines it is clear that the popular colours used are Yellow's and Red's as these colours are eye catching. Another thing that i have noticed is that all the magazines all have at most 5 colours on the page, this is because they do not want the page to be full of colours as it may lose its effectiveness and will look messy and out of place.

Due to this the colours that i will be using on my front cover will be bright colours like red font on a white background so it looks simple and professional. I chose this because out of all the magazines that i looked at Q magazine was the one that i first noticed which is the effect that i want my magazine to have on the viewers, as apposed to "We Love Pop" which although uses bright colours like pink, it doesn't stand out as much because there is to much on the page and it looks messy and unprofessional, and is more likely to appeal to young children.

Below is a print screen of a mockup of the style of font and layout of my magazine, also there are images of magazines which i have used to decide on my Typography.
