Preliminary Task: Magazine details

Upon contemplating what genre and magazine name I should pick, I came to a conclusion to choose the genre Hip Hop and my magazine name will be 'Prodigy' and I will direct this genre towards my target audience of 16+ year olds. The names I spent time considering were: Apex, Silver, Complex, Balance, Empire, Inferno, Logic and Power. I chose the name 'Prodigy' because the meaning of it is a person with exceptions abilities and traits, therefore I thought it would appeal more to my target audience. I also found out that 'Prodigy' is a name of a music festival and music group, so it does in fact have music links to it. The genres I was considering choosing were either Hip Hop, Pop or R&B/Soul.

Upon experimenting with many different font types, I finally ended up with 3 main fonts that I will be using on the front cover and contents page of my magazine. I found these fonts on Microsoft and began practising my writing, constantly checking if it suited my front cover and aesthetic well. I may also add in one more font for my contents page, one that is somewhat similar to the 'Century Gothic' font.

The features I am going to use on the front cover will be 3 of the following 4:

1. J Hus Common Sense Exclusive 
2. Hip Hops Guilty Pleasures: Kojo Funds, Rihanna, Drake
3. Official Album Charts: Gang Signs & Prayer, Digital Druglord, More Life, Ctrl
4. Top 5 Men in Music: Post Malone, Bryson Tiller, J. Cole, Drake, J Hus
