Masthead Ideas and Main Masthead

Masthead Ideas

These 4 mastheads were primary ideas for a masthead that will comply with my music magazine and that will attract my target audience. I tried to use colourful and interesting themes for the masthead yet the 4 ideas were not attractive. The first idea was created to show simplicity but the bright green colour was too bright and did not suit the theme of my magazine. The second idea was a good concept but the chrome colour did not attract my target audience. From this point I thought of using a more mixed theme. This led me to idea 3 where I used 3 different colours and a more attractive effect of flames. Idea 4 was just an experiment of simplicity but with a range of multi colours but yet again it became too simple.

Then I came across this design I instantly knew that this design was perfect. It was eye-catching and attracting my target audience. The multicolour theme was used very well and the design tied in well with the colour scheme well. I prefer this design rather than design 3 because it uses more colours and I received more positive feedback for this one from my peers in my media class. I have decided to make this my main design for my masthead, now all I need is a front cover image of photograph.
