I have decided to choose Hip-Hop as my genre choice, as I believe there is a massive gap in the market for solely rap based magazines. I will further this genre choice by interviewing people who have this kind of interest.
All photos I use will have their backgrounds removed, so the best choice for a background would be something plain. However, I may want to use a background that doesn't have a very large impact and then set the photo as the entirety of the background of a page. This would be following what KERRANG usually do on their double page spreads and what many other magazines do throughout.
After researching typography, I believe that the font Impact would be the best for my titles, due to its versatility when effects are applied to it (in comparison to bleeding cowboys) and it's more modern look.
When looking at the FX normally applied to titles in magazines, I've decided that on my front cover and on some of my other titles, I am going to be using a solid black outline around some text. This not only draws the users eye, but also allows text to stand out from almost any background. I could also apply a small amount of shadow to titles, which would result in less emphasis but would still allow it to stand out more.
My colour scheme will be a black/darker background with light text that has a black outline, and my target audience is 13-18.
