3. Analysis of Mastheads
• “I really like this masthead and like the effect used on it. I
think it would work really well for a rock magazine”
• I think that this masthead is quite successful and that I
would be happy to use it on my magazine.
• “I don’t understand the context of the name?...”
• The name of this magazine masthead is a name of a rock
song, which I think has a good ring to it as a magazine name.
4. Analysis of Mastheads
•
“I like the sincerity of this masthead and think the dark colour
works well”
•
I like the dark green colour I used because it is quite dark and
makes the magazine seem more rocky.
•
“The shape of the text is a little too rounded for a rock magazine”
•
I agree with this and I think that my font choice could've been
better and be changed to something more edgy.
•
“I really like the name!”
•
I think the name works well because it specifically states that it is a
rock magazine as well as it not being cliché.
5. Analysis of Mastheads
• “I think the name works well as it fits into the theme of
Alternative Rock which goes against society”
• I agree that I really like the choice in name and that it would
work well with my chosen genre of magazine
• “I think the colour is a bit boring and should be something
more like red or yellow”
• I chose this colour so it was almost opaque but I do this it
would be beneficial to use a different colour that fits with
the theme more.
6. Analysis of Mastheads
• “The idea of the title works really well for your
chosen magazine genre”
• I really like the name of this masthead and
think that it works well
• “I worry that the title wont fit along the top of
the page without it looking squished”
• I do think that this masthead is not as catchy as
some of the others but also think that it shows
a good idea.
8. Colour analysis
• In two of the possible colour schemes I used
yellow which was something I found to be
used in a lot of the magazines I analysed and
have seen in rock magazines.
• I like the red colour which I used in the
‘HomeSick’ masthead with a darker colour.
9. Conclusion
• The most popular masthead chosen was
HomeSick. I feel like the red colour used is
most relevant to a rock magazine. I would also
like the incorporate the yellow as well from
the colour schemes also. The other mastheads
were still really well created but I feel like I
could use elements from them all to create my
final masthead.
