1. I did try placing images on the masthead so it was seen as more of a
brand rather than just a word. Here is an example of one. I feel
however because of the age demographic and the fact that the music
magazine style I am trying to replicate does not have a picture
featured, it would not make my front cover more effective and may
draw the attention of the more eye grabbing features such as the
pictures of the featured artists. I feel that the mastheads bold font is
enough to brand ‘dynamic’ as a magazine title and it doesn’t need
pictures that accompany it to enhance it.

2. When looking at the font for my masthead, I tried to see if I could take
any of the fonts that I had used from my style sheet, after which I tried
to see other variations of fonts. I decided on the top one in the end
which wasn’t in my style sheet (Magneto) because it is very different
from the text that is used throughout which helps for the reader to see
the masthead as the first thing as it breaks up the text in the page. I did
consider the second one (Broadway) however chose against it in the
end as it didn’t stand out as much as the first.

3. When deciding on the colour of
my masthead, I decided to
choose between the colours that I
had chosen on my style sheet as
this would fit in most with the
colour scheme throughout my
pieces of work. I thought the
black looked the most effective
particularly as it will contrast with
the background of my front cover.
Black is very good to use
generally as it stands out the
most as a block colour.
