Masthead title ideas

This is my final three ides for my title as you can see above. These titles are gripping and bold, capturing the viewers attention immediately. I have decided to use motion magazine as the design of the title is better and it makes reference to skating as it is a motion as a whole.  

Target Audience Mood Board

This is my target audience mood board which depicts the type of people that this magazine will aim towards. It is a rock magazine therefor, becoming aimed at scruffy looking males and females, more aiming at the male gender (Referring to survey). There, again, is a skateboard theme so i have shown some typical skateboard clothes, even making reference to rolled up jeans as it is a large part of skateboard fashion (how you wear your clothing, not necessarily what brand your wearing.)

Mood Board - Colours

These are ideas for the colour scheme of my magazine all together. I have chosen these as they are the most effective at capturing the eye of the reader but also not being over enthusiastic and in your face. The black and white will allow the colours to stand out very well. After consideration, i have decided to us the top, yellow, white and black scheme because of majority votes in my research process.

Mood Board - Advertisers

This is a concept of skateboard brands of which i have merged together in a Photoshop format, this gives the viewer an idea of some of the iconic skateboard brands that could be included in the magazine. My magazine has a small skateboard theme within the double page spread including a skateboarder who became a musician (drummer); all photos will be primary.

Mood Board - Fonts

These are my initial thoughts on how i want to present my fonts. I like these fonts because they are bold and instantly capture the audiences attention which is the penultimate aim. These fonts provide and broken damaged look to the magazine which i wanted to achieve because my magazine has a rock theme.

QUESTIONNAIRE DATA ANALYSIS

- Within my results i have found out a range of information regarding what is the most popular content and colour that college students would want in their college magazine. 
- 16 out of 30 of these people said they would like this magazine to predominantly aimed at the male gender. Following this, a more boy stereotypical colour scheme seemed to be more favoured using Black, Blue and Gold, seeming to be very popular. Blue obtained 17, black received 13 and gold gained 12 ticks in the questionnaire. 
- The majority of people (17) said they would want to receive a weekly magazine instead of a daily or monthly issue. Following this question i asked "How much would you be willing to pay?" and a staggering 23/30 people said they would only pay £1.00 for a weekly magazine, which makes sense as it is realistic and achievable for college students.
- 12 people said that they wouldn't mind receiving the magazine virtually or on paper/physically, but virtually however did get slightly more votes with 10 people opting for it. I expected that people would rase a hand more towards virtually than physically as now its 2014 its more common to see.
- A whopping 22 out of 30 students said they would like to receive a problems page; saving 8 people who said no, therefor the problems page is definitely going to be embedded into the magazine. 
- Along with a problems page another strategy to interest and tempt viewers has proven favourable which is free objects, 25/30 people said that free gift vouchers or other forms of free material would/could lead them to buying the magazine. 
- Only 7 people said that they would contribute to creating, editing, designing or in anyway participating in the magazine. leaving 23 people who said they wouldn't.
- Last but not least I asked the potential viewers what they would want content wise within the magazine, giving them various options to tick as many boxes as they would like. The favoured topics are Gaming, Jobs, food and technology, which i will include into my personal magazine.
