The document discusses different font style options for the masthead of a magazine focused on pop music. Several fonts are considered, including Bebas, American Captain, Accents, Holy Moly, and Bubblegum. After testing multiple designs, the author selects Bebas as the final font choice. Bebas stands out as it is in capital letters but still simple and easy to read. The masthead will feature the text "POP FOREVER" in black with a pink heart inside the "o" of "forever" to incorporate the magazine's main color in an eye-catching way.

8. Masthead Font Style –
Final Choice
Font Style: Bebas
After much thought and consideration, I have decided to go with Bebas font style for the
verbal code of the masthead ‘POP FOREVER’ because I feel that this font stands out the
best. This is because it is in capitals however it is also simple which attracts readers. I
plan to have the masthead in a black colour with the ‘o’ of ‘forever’ in a pink heart. This
is because this is because it includes the main colour of the magazine in the title whilst
eye-catching. I also plan to have the masthead in the center and at the top of the page
so it is easy to see and eye-catching.
