2. Q
• The Masthead for ‘Q’ magazine is the most basic of the ones that I
have seen. The use of a red box and a plain white q makes it basic but
eye catching. Red is a primary colour which makes it visually
appealing. The masthead of Q doesn't scream a certain genre unlike
many mastheads such as Kerrang or Rocksound. This is because ‘Q’ as
a magazine doesn’t specifically strive to posses a specific genre of
music and instead is rather neutral, this is shown through the
simplicity of the masthead.
3. Kerrang.
• The masthead for Kerrang is very edgy which corresponds with
the genre of the magazine. The masthead features shatterd glas
which gives the magazine a sense of destruction, which fits the
image of this magazine perfectly
4. Rock Sound.
• The logo for rock sound is classic capital letters with a sound
dial at one end which is turnt up too loudest which symbolises
the type of music genre that rock sound focus on.
5. Billboard.
• The masthead billboard always covers the magazine from left to
right. Its simple black text symbolises the ‘mainstream’ idea off
this magazine. It doesn’t carry any specific ‘alternative’ genre
and just covers the basic chart artists.
6. Rolling Stones.
• The logo for rolling stone is representative with the font colour
and style from the bands itself, which lures in fans of the band.
There magazines use of this is too show that they move with the
time and never stop.
