For the title I wanted to pick a title that was catchy and could link into the music world, specifically the genre of music, I also wanted to keep the title to one word to keep it short and make it memeroable to the reader. I played around with a few words but settled on 'Culture', the word is catchy and links into the 'popular culture' genre of music which my magazine is all about, it also isn't too short or too long. The title will run along the top of the magazine in a bold font inspired by my style models.
My first draft of my logo started off with a plain black and white logo:
After looking at my style models and other music magazine examples logos, I noticed that most magazines including my style models had various colours going on so I played around with the colours red, grey, white and black to come up with a logo that fits in with the other music magazines and also looked at embossing my logos and the stroke and outer glow on them:
After looking at my style models again and other music magazines I noticed that most of them have flat logos and it was rare to find one with an embossed/3D logo. Because of this I have chosen the top logo which is red and grey with a black outline because the simplicity draws in readers and a lot of music magazines just consists of a simple logo. I may make a few changes to my logo in the future so it fits in with the front cover.
