My Masthead Ideas:

I created a mind map to help me decide the right masthead for my magazine. I came up with 6 potential masthead ideas for my magazine. The ideas are ‘iPop’, ‘POPhits’, ‘P’, ‘Simply Pop’, ‘PMC’ and ‘POP’. The ‘iPop’ is an example of iPod because many people listen to music on iPods, and other Apple devices. ‘POPhits’ represents pop music hits. ‘P’ is very short and snappy. The Q magazine inspired me to create ‘P’ which symbolizes pop. The next name is ‘Simply Pop’ which in my opinion is good because it just means that the magazine would be about pop music. ‘PMC’ stands for Pop Music Channel, it is short and sharp. Finally, ‘POP’ clearly represents pop music which is what was music magazine is all about. The name of the masthead I have chosen is PMC because it is simple and I prefer it to all the others.

This font is the colours black and white which is plain and simple. It would catch the eyes of the targeted audience.

This font is eye catching with the colours of blue and black. It’s effective because its eye-catching.

This font is pink and it is effective because it’s eye-catching. It seeks the attention of many young girls ages between 8-11 years old. I chose this one to be lower case because it is simple.
