In the creation of our music magazines we have been told that we are allowed to work in small groups, this involves sharing the same name for the magazine and making them look reletivly similar with the people in my group who will be Alex Jones and Scott Wharton.

To start we did some spider diagrams and mind mapping to get ideas for what we should call our and how to set them etc...
We thought of many ideas for our magazine and we have decided that it will be a rock magazine influenced by the Kerrang music magazine. Becuase Kerrang is a rock magazine it will be easy for us to relate to it becuase we like that genre of music.

The name we have decided to use for our project is Volume.
We have chose Volume becuase it links in with music and anyone that sees the name would instantly realise that it is a music magazine just by the name of it.
To design our magazine name we have used Flamingtext.com, this is a website that allows people to create their own text and do a huge amount of things to it. It lets us use a variety of different colours, text styles etc... For our title we have used a font style called Zipper back which is what gives our title a very sharp untidy text that it has, this is good because rock music is loud and sometimes quite unruly. We spent a while looking for a good effect to have on the name and we found that with it being called Volume it should be relevate to that so we ended up using sound waves that are pulsing off the word, this is cleverly used to becuase it is like the volume is loud. For our colour we have decided to go for a red scheme becuase red and black are associated with rock quite often. We have made the word Volume a dark tone of red and then had the sound waves a slightly lighter tone that fade and get more light as they get away from the word and we have kept a plain white background to make the title stand out more. Also i have saved my magazine name into a file on my computer ready to copy it onto my magazine.
