After researching a little more at the idea of my title I really wanted to make my title appear more interesting and unique. I did not want it to just be a simple font, I felt that it lacked something. The idea behind naming my magazine 'Sanity' was due to the fact that the music the magazine focused on kept their fans 'Sane'. The simple fact that the lyrics behind each song has so much depth and meaning to each member of the audience. This was all quite clearly related to mental health. I researched what connected these points together and I decided to use brain wavelengths. I looked at different kinds of wavelengths and decided to use the one that appears when we are 'relaxed and reflective'.
This made sense due to the audience being in this state of mind when listening to the music of these artists. Using Photoshop i edited the wavelength colour and format slightly and experimented with the colours of the outer glow and colour of my font. I created four different varieties:
- The first example using a red outer glow worked well,however i think the wavelength was not as visible using this glow. I decided to not use this one on my magazine cover.
- The second option was changing my font colour to red as well as keeping the red outer glow which i slightly brightened. Again this did not appeal to me or people I asked as it came across as very 'horror' like therefore contrasting with my genre.
- The third option was using a grey outer glow, i liked this the most as it was still simple and also added a sense of monochrome to my magazine.This was a bit dark and not as clearly visible therefore i brightened it up a little bit ( as seen for the fourth option). I decided to use number four for my cover. I feel that it works very well with the layout of my magazine and adds a sense of edginess to it as well as it becoming more unique.
