Masthead & Analysis

1. Masthead’s & Analysis
BY JAMIE MARSHALL

2. My Mastheads
These are my 5 made
mastheads

3. Genre
 From a group analysis, people assumed that my
genre was hip hop. This is a positive because hip hop
is the genre of my magazine and if people can get this
from the title then the magazine won’t false
advertise.
 I am happy with the name of my magazine as I now
know people can easily guess the genre from the
name and this is what I want.

4. Which Was The Best?
 From the group analysis people felt the 2nd and 3rd
masthead were the best. People felt the 2nd masthead
was the best because of the italic style made it look
slick and attractive. Also people felt the 3rd was the
best because the bold look would match the genre
and look good at the top of the masthead.
 I feel that the 2nd masthead wouldn’t suit my
magazine as the style doesn’t suit the genre and I can
agree with the 3rd masthead because the bold style
can suit the genre .

5. Which is the Worst?
 The group analysis told me that people felt the 5th
masthead was the worst as some of the lettering
wasn’t visible due to the effect used and the style
doesn’t suit the genre.
 I agree that the 5th masthead is the worst because the
effect used isn’t very good and the style won’t suit a
hip hop magazine.

6. Conclusion
 To conclude, I feel that the name works well as it
gives the reader an idea of what the genre is. I also
feel that the 3rd masthead is the best as the bold style
would look good at the top of a magazine, however I
would need to add some effects and colours to
improve it.
