When creating my music magazine, I will also need to think of a suitable masthead. To decide on the masthead I would use I decided to take a look at existing music magazines and their mastheads.
The first masthead I looked at was 'Q' In my opinion, this masthead is very successful as it is short and 'to the point.' It is recognisable and in terms of space it would not take up much room. The colour scheme is a red background with the 'Q' being white. I think this is also successful as it stands out. I like the idea of the one letter/syllable for the masthead.
The second masthead I looked at was 'NME' Yet again I like the idea of the 'letter' title, however this time it has more syllables but I think it still manages to remain intriguing and interesting. The colour scheme is (like Q) white black and red. Although I feel this is effective in my magazine I would like to use different colours to make it original. The lettering of this masthead was in capitals which I think is important to make it stand out and it was also bold.
the last masthead I looked at was 'WIRE' I think this title sounds 'edgy' however I didn't like the colour scheme or layout. The whole title was black which I found boring and the font was also boring. Underneath the masthead was the phrase 'Adventures In Modern Music' I like the idea of having writ ting underneath my masthead however i don't think this particular phrase is interesting or grabs a potential reader's attention
