1. Masthead Design for my Magazine

2. Initial Ideas

When designing my magazine I wanted to establish a rock type masthead which is essential to reflect my target audience and capture their attention.

The following are my potential Masthead designs:

This was my attempt of creating a masthead combined with an image to lure in my targeted audience and I tried to play around with the different font types to gain the perfect Masthead.

I used serif to help me enhance the quality of my design but so that I could use effects on my Masthead to achieve a better response.

4. Chosen Masthead http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WmXddpX4ubM/Tw2HmCtFH2I/AAAAAAAAABQ/KwuExV0gHLo/s320/Masthead+Name.jpg I chose this Masthead as it combined a image with the actual text and the font is appealing as it is unique and different. The use of different font sizes for the Masthead has been used to help emphasize the vast importance of the latter part of the Masthead but also how it creates a different Masthead that is appealing and exclusive and hasnt been done already. I chose this colour scheme as it isnt to feminine and by analysing existing magazines I realised the colour purple was used frequently and so I decided to use this to my advantage. This is my final Masthead design and the typography is very focused.
