1. Ideas for masthead.
By Mollie Harvey.

2. Bernard MT Condensed.
• I quite like this font as it is
quite bold, and different. I
think it will stand out well,
especially as my title is just
a single letter it needs to be
an eye catching font and I
think this works. I like how
the font is quite different,
and not symmetrical. I
think this would really
catch my audiences
attention on the front
cover.

3. Castellar.
• I like the contrast of the
black and white in this font.
For my colour I am thinking
of using white and I think a
black strip in the letter will
be really effective and
really draw in the attention
of my audience. I think it is
very bold, and will appeal
to both male and female. I
think this would be a good
font to use on my front
cover.

4. Viner Hand ITC.
• I really like how different
this font is. It is quite
unusual which I think will
draw my audience in. By
having something quite
different it really catches
your attention, which could
interest a wider audience.
Although this is not as bold
as my other choices, I think
it’ll work quite well and
would look really effective
against a coloured
background.

5. Rosewood Std.
• I really like the 3D look of this
font, and I also like the pattern
on the front. This font is very
bold, and can easily catch
wither genders attention. The
letter is very bold on its self
and I also think it will be really
effective against a bright
colour. The contrast of black
and white on the font is the
main thing of the magazine,
and I have some ideas of
having a black and white
theme, (Central image b&w
and font a colour) and I think
this will fit in very well.

6. Old English Text MT.
• I really like how unique this
font is. I like the flicks and
different curves etc. I think it
makes a really memorable font,
which will make my audience
remember my magazine. It is
very eye catching as it is so
different. I think the curves will
really appeal to my female
audience but the sharp corners
and boldness of the font will
also appeal to my male
audience. I think it will draw mt
target audience in well.

7. Vladimir Script.
• Something about this
font really caught my
eye, and I think it
would do the same on
the front page of my
magazine. However, it
is not as bold as I
would like my font to
be. But I think it would
appeal to both
genders, and the slant
is very eye catching.

8. Magneto.
• I really like the boldness of this
font. It is very thick making it
very eye catching. It will appeal
to both genders as the
boldness would really attract
my male audience where there
is also a slightly girly curve
attracting my female audience.
I think this would look really
good against a bright
background, the contrast
would really draw you in. For
me this font drew me in
straight away and I think it
would do the same on my front
cover of my magazine.

9. Trajan Pro.
• For my other fonts I have
chosen very different and
unique choices. However,
for my last option I
thought I would choose
quite a simple font. As I
think simple is quite
often the most effective,
and could look very good
against a bright coloured
background. I think this
font is very plain but also
very bold.

10. Final Masthead ideas.

11. Audience feedback on Masthead
options.
I want to have a bold and eye catching masthead, and I think my options show this. And I think
my audience feedback will help me determine which one would be the best for my magazine.
For my first masthead I would say this was my audiences least favourite option. They said it was
unique bit looks quite tacky, they do not feel it fits with my magazine genre, and they feel it is
slightly too in your face, rather than eye catching.
For my second masthead option I think they defiantly preferred this to my first option. They said
they thought it was bold without having to have a thick font, they liked the neatness of this
option. Also, many people said they like this option however, it would look better on a different
red background. Although a lot of people liked this magazine there were a few that have said that
they like it but is not suitable for a magazine.
I think this was my audiences favourite masthead option. They all thought this is a very bold
option and really stands out. There were one or two options saying to brighten the red
background to add even more bold features to really catch your eye.
Finally for my last masthead option all of my audience have said that it is not right for the
magazine. They say it is too formal and does not suit the genre of the magazine.
My audiences favourite option was my third masthead. I think this is because the font is not too
formal and could easily appeal to my target audience. I think this option is the one that stands
out most and I think this is what intrigued my audience.
