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.

Potential Fonts 1.

I like this font because it is bright and colourful. Which is what a pop music magazine is meant to be like. I created this on a website called cooltext.com. The colours light blue and orangey yellow are of a children’s colour. They are more likely to catch the eyes of the young generation.

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.

Why?

,I have chosen this masthead because the colours of it stand out more than the others. The colours are also very eye-catching . The font is Cpr.Sparhelt – Stencil, I created this on the website cooltext.com which is a very useful. It suits the targeted audience of teenage girls because they like bright colours not just pink, they also like other colours too. But if I was to carry on creating PMC magazines I would change the colours of the masthead each month.

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.
