Colour scheme ideas, Name ideas and feature story ideas

These are different techniques that you can use to create your masthead for the magazine.  NAME IDEAS:  Forte  I like this because forte means 'a thing at which someones excels'. Indy Mainstream Undiscovered  I like this name because Indie artists are typically people that were not signed by a major music label. This is also the reason I like the names 'Unknown' and 'Unsigned'. Unknown Rise  I like this name as it indicated that the stars I choose to have on my front cover would be rising stars that are still making their way up in the music industry. This is also why I like the name 'Rising', however I prefer 'Rise' as it is a shorter name which is more likely to be more effective.  Indi  Elite I like this name as elite means 'A group or class of people seen as having the most power and influence in a society', it also means that they excel in a certain something. Rising Content  I like this name as it shows that the artists i have on my cover are content with themselves, but also implies that there is going to be a lot of content within the magazine.  Changed Unsigned These are some font ideas for my logo. I have chosen to use 'ELITE' for my name as this is my favourite. The font I am going to use for my logo is Berlin Sans FB as I like it the best and I think it represents the indie genre very well.  These are some of the magazines front covers that I looked at to get my colour scheme, of which I then used on adobe colour wheel to get all the colours that worked well together. I have use adobe colour wheel to decide on my colour theme, I have also looked at existing indie magazines to get the main colour. Looking at these magazines, I have decided to go for a pale pink as the majority of the themes are very pale. I have chosen a black as well as this will help both my logo and feature stories stand out. I have then used the colour wheel to generate which third colour would go best with the pink and the black.  My favourite colour theme is the second one, as I think they will stand out more on my magazine, therefore i have chosen to use this theme for my magazine.  These are my logo ideas for my music magazine. I have done a few so that I can choose which one I think will work best. I was going to have my logo all in capital letters, however when it came to designing the logo I didn't think it worked like this therefore I decided to do it in lower case. I like the bottom one however, I think my logo will stand out more with a border round it which is why I then designed the other two logos, one with a thin black border and the other with a black box around it. My favourite logo is the 'elite' with the black box around it.  I have gone for a light pink colour with black based on my research. Once I put my google mock up ideas all together I didn't think the colour scheme quite worked, therefore I looked at some more front cover magazines for the Indie genre and came up with Red, White and Black.
