Planning logo and house style

During the main task, at one point I knew I wanted my music magazine's name to be called 'Amplify' because it is short, not too bold as "KERRANG!" reinforcing the fact that it is will be an edgy magazine (to stand out from the other music magazines) but only to a point where it's still subtle and easy on the ears.

The image below showcases my final logo style of font and name. 
Font name: Velocity
Taken from: http://www.dafont.com/velocity.font?text=amplify&psize=l

Font style and size:I shall be experimenting with the font styles and sizes during the process of creating the documents but I know that I definitely won't be using fonts like 'Rage Italic'. Instead, I will opt for an appropriate, simple with straight cuts font style.

Colour scheme:I plan to use White On Red for my masthead as seen in magazines like NME, Q, and XXL. Black will be used for texts and grey for the background of the central image. These all make for a trendy-looking music magazine specifically because red is used contemporarily. 

Type of language which I will use:The type of language I will be using particularly within the double page spread: a colloquial (informal) language with a mixture of formal to further represent the audience of my publication to have a similar characteristic with the artist that will be featured throughout all the documents.
