"Awaz Do" as a title praises the cover artist, actor, or model by literally writing Make some noise over their heads. I think it’s a good play on words to hype up the featured story while also connecting to Indian nostalgia for anyone who can recognize where the phrase comes from. I’m thinking of keeping a consistent theme of baby blue and gold to allude to the color of the Indian government bus. Additionally, I noticed that many of the covers I looked at from my inspirations consist of a plain background and a constant color scheme throughout all issues for Platform Magazine and The Juice. For the masthead, I’m hoping to find a font that mimic’s the government bus, If I cant find a font, I’ll end up painting the masthead myself and scanning it at the highest quality possible for a full painted effect.

Okay so I spent an hour on the internet looking up Indian style fonts. Most of them were English fonts that were shaped like a Sanskrit descendant languages with the consistent overhead bar, but this one font, Theka, that seems to be the perfect fit for my magazine.
