CONTENT IDEAS

NAME

That’s the name I decided to use for my magazine. I think it connotes to independence and freedom as it tells the reader to define what the magazine is himself. It also looks clear and interesting with the font I chosen.

This name has a very clear link to indie genre as The word ‘Indie’ comes from the word ‘Independent 'which refers to lesser-known in music labels

I think this name sounds mysterious and also fits a new magazine however it wouldn’t fit as much when it gets more known and also it doesn’t link to music as much.Word created by taking last letter from genre name ‘ Indie’ sounds familiar but also interesting

FONTS

This is the font I will use for my masthead. I chose it because of it’s edgy, interesting look and also because missing parts of letters leave some space for imagination which can link to magazine’s name.

That font was a second option for a masthead however I think it doesn’t look clear and fits other genres more and also people in my questionnaire chose the other one.

Basic font can be used for my sub-headlines on my content page. I think it would balance out other, more fancy fonts but still stand out because of being bold. I can also use it for cover-lines on front cover.

One version of this font I might use for headline of my main article. It’s simple but also because of the details fits rock genre and catches attention.

This font is very thin and I could use it for my main article headline. However if I make it bold I could use it as cover lines if it doesn’t collide with masthead look.
