Pitch ideas:

Title suggestions:
1. MoM. (Abbreviation for magazine of music) This is a catchy name, and is in tact with the aim of the magazine idea, which is not to aim at a specific genre and target at all of the music audience.
2. CoolFuel. This is a magazine which is also generalized at music in general. This title makes the art of music seem like something that requires 'musical fuel.' A metaphor to attract the audience to the title while still giving the title relevant meaning via imagery. Cool is used to promote how good music is and bond with its audience.
3. RAMP. (Rap, Also Metal 'n' Pop) Another catchy title which stands out to the audience while still containing relevance to multiple music genres. This is another abbreviated title.

Fonts:
1. Arial. This font is standard, classic, and works on any computer, meaning it can be used for creating any magazine online. It is commonly used and known to people, and it's text generated is very neat and readable. I could use this for the interview article inside the double page spread.
2. Bold Trebucket. This is also a font that stands out to readers, and with a bold adjustment to the font, this could easily be used for the title of the magazine as well as stand-out sell lines and headings/sub-heads. This would be useful to use for big text inclusions.
3. Times new roman. Once a default font for Microsoft software, now a typical, neat and tidy text generator with writing that is easy to read. Despite being small, TNW still is readable by the readers, due to its neatness. This could also be used for the aritcles and intervews on the double page spread, as well as any toehr small text inclusions for that matter. An example could be the small overhead section on the cover page if one is used.
4. A sosphisticated Courier new font. This font is large, yet still neat and readable. This could be used for all uses of medium sized text, including contents, larger articles, and somesub-heads if necessary.

 Colour pallettes:
1. Black, blue, white and yellow. Like Kerrang and Vibe which have similar pallette schemes, this will contain mostly blue and yellow for the text and other content which is designed to stand out and attract the readers above the black and white content and BG.
2. Red, white, black and yellow. A lot more like NME, but with the same purposes.
3. White, black, green and orange. A less usual colour scheme so the magazine design is a little less generic. This would help to make the magazine stand out if it were to be sold among all other magazines. The content featured would be the same, though.
4. Black, white and yellow. Similar to idea 1, though only more simple to use.
5. Black, white and blue. Another simple yet appealing scheme of colours.
6. Black, blue, white and green. This is what I am most inspired to use. It is not a typical scheme, so it is not making the magazine design generic in any way, this is a unique colour scheme. This will also help with the title, which is blue, as seen on the 25 word pitch image and on the animoto moodboard.


Ideas for cover layout:
1. A generic design. This is where content is stuck to the rule of thirds and commonly used conventions. A classic layout would be a mid-shot main image, a title at the top all across the page, a heading of the main AKA sell line being placed above, below or over the main image, and text and other features surrounding it.
2. An unusual but more original design. The title is at the bottom, or bottom corner. The sell line and small text is in the middle, and the main image is placed at the top. This will make the image stand out more so visual content will be more noticeable to the readers.
3. The title is placed on the side and vertically, as an unusual placement. The sell line, heading, subheads and content simialr all appear around the edge of the page. Finally, the main image, not overlapped by any text unlike the other designs, is featured in a box in the middle of a page, being the true epitome of a mid-shot. This will make the image stand out as it will not be overlapped by text, and the title stand out as people will notice its unusual placement and inclusion...

Ideas for content layout:
1. The contents page could have the actual contents section placed at the right top of the page, with a mian image in the centre and two smaller pics below it. The left of the page could feature sub-heads and small details in text.
2. The contents could be less generic and could be scattered all across the page, with only page number identifying their positions. This would be unusual and more interesting to the viewing readers. Images portraying content and featured stoires could also be scattered across the page too.
3. The contents could be featured around the edge of the page, with images and other text placed in the middle. Another less generic design concept.
4. The exact opposite of '3' in that the contents is featured in the middle, and the images and other text is featured around it on the edge of the page.


Ideas for double page spread article:
1. Considering that this is the page where the actual storyline of the magazine is analysed and explained, the content featured needs to be very inspirational, relevant, appealing, and possibly a seller to the audience through interest. Since this magazine is designed to be a multi-genre magazine, relating to most/all types of msuic and not just one, the article can relate to anything that is original, and anything that relates to the art of music.
2. Again, since this is a multi-genre magazine, ideas can vary more. Another idea for the spread page is an interview featuring a musical celebrity. This, if was a real magazine, would then generate a lot of audience and reader interest to wards the magazine product and this would help success. In a way, this interview relating tp music events, would be a sell line, only instead of a line or quote, it would be more like a 'sell story.'
3. The spread could feature a report based on an incident that happened associated with musical celebrities. An example could be a car crash that had a musical band crash their van into a car with women and children. This, if was real, would cause a lot of 'buzz' and reaction. This would be helpful to gain interest for the magazine. The same applies here that it would be a sell story.

Who will be on my front cover:
1. Since this is an original and non-real magazine, I would not be able to use any real celebrities. This means that I will have to make up my own stars for this magazine. So on the cover, a student, preferrably one who has studied/is studying music, should be on the front cover, pressumably with an instrument. They should pose in a certain way to make the cover main image look more interesting and appealing to the readers. Any student could be featured, as long as they have a good representation input to the magazine.
2. Any teacher with an instrument could also be used, as they could be adult celebrities. A lot of the same still applies, such as good representation, pressumably has studie music, or even teaches it. Etc...
3. As far as style and costume goes, they can be relative to any genre. For example, if the person featured is descirbed as a rapper, a good costume for them would be a cap, some bling, and a shirt and shorts that fits an appropriate attire for them. The style should be based on, one, their pose, how do they represent themselves, and 2, their clothing, how do they look, and what genre of music are they supposed to belong to?

Why are they on the cover:
This person would be one the cover for multiple reasons, here are some:
1. They would be on the cover as they would add appealing visual content to the magazine. This would add reader interest causing sales to increase for it.
2. They would visually represent both a genre of music, and more importantly, a main storyline that is featured within the magazine issue. For instance, if Metallica was featured as a band on the cover, they would represent a storlyine involving them featured in the magazine. Furthermore, the headings and sub-heads featured on covers usually relate to the internal content featured. Obviously, the largest headings, excluding the title, would relate to the main, most important content storyline featured. The main mage usually relates to and promotes that main storyline, and that's why they would be featured. E.g. when Michael Jackson died, many magazines featured him as the main cover image, due to his death being the main story featured in the magazine issue.
3. Besides being relevant to the storyline, they would also be relevant to representing the genre that they belong to. If Eminem was featured on the cover, then he would be representing the rap genre, meaning his style and costume (etc...) that represent his image (literally, since he is on the cover main image) would also represent the genre that he belongs to. This is an example of how genre's and their inclusion within the magazines can be promoted via cover main image representation.
