Masthead

I have been playing around with a few different magazine names, making the masthead look as professional and conventional as possible, ensuring that the masthead also fits in with the genre of music.

These are a few examples of the names I may use for my magazine, along with the feedback I received during peer assessment:

Here, I experimented with the font style and the star logo, to see which fitted the best together.

Peer Assessment Feedback: People said that this particular font style is "Too similar to the 'Top of the Pops'"

                                            However, "the genre and target audience is made clear through the word 'Pop'"

I also experimented with the name, keeping the genre 'Pop' in the name, but making it abit more creative.

I like that 'Popaholic' is very original in that no other magazine is named anything like this.

Peer Assessment Feedback: People said this was the best masthead as "it is original and a creative name"

                                            However, "consider changing the colour to fit the target audience- girls"

I played around with colour on this masthead. I used different shades of pink and purple, because these colours will fit my genre, as well as my target audience.

Peer Assessment Feedback: People said "the colours make the target audience very obvious"

I then moved the lettering around abit, by adding an underline to the 'Pop' to emphasise the genre further, and make the word 'Pop' stand out to the target audience.
