Masthead




I had experimented with a range of styles to use for my masthead, I felt it was necessary to incorporate some sort of idea linking with music within the masthead. Within each design idea for the masthead I had used the G Clef/Treble Clef or Crotchet symbol to replace the 'I' within the name of the magazine. I had experimented with a range of fonts and colours, although each design consisted a musical symbol the designs were different. Despite receiving some positive feedback about the designs the same negative response which had come up was that the font does not fit in with the genre of the magazine. taking that into consideration, I had looked at existing music magazines of my genre and analysed their mastheads and noticed that they all have a small, bold font which s easy to read and stands out on the page. therefore I opted for a much simpler font which is much easier to read on the page in comparison to the ones which I used in the drafts. I will leave the font colour alone for the moment and will decide the colour for the text once I have chosen an image to use for my front cover.
