The document discusses different masthead design options for a magazine. It provides feedback on several masthead designs, including preferences for a smaller, square masthead that doesn't take up much space and leaves room for a full bleed cover photo. The document also expresses a liking for a purple masthead color that would appeal to a female audience without being too bright, as well as a design with red, bold text that could link to the magazine's content. However, the document notes that any design spread across the top of the cover would not be preferred.

1. Masthead DesignsI want my masthead name ind to be designed in a short, eye-catching way, I would also like some aspect of a light bright colour so that it stands out
and also gives me a main house colour I can relate to my whole magazine; however with each monthly issue the colours may change.
This masthead has bold front which is exactly what I want as I
need my title to be seen easily. I like most things about this
masthead however personally I would prefer to have a smaller
masthead that is not as wide as they is will cover the majority of
the top of my front cover and I don’t really like that look. I also do
like the gold colour however I would prefer it if it had more of a
metallic sheen to it and that is not easy to do and print.
This is probably my favourite
masthead as it is more of a square, it
doesn’t take up much space on my
masthead and it leave me room for
my main full bleed cover photo to be
powerful and the most prominent
feature.
I also love the colour as it would give
my magazine a bit of colour and as it
is purple it would heighten my female
audience however its not extremely
bright so still shouldn’t effect the male
audience.
I like the fact that the actual text in this design is red and bold, I love the
connotations of red as being powerful and could create a good link to my
magazine if this design was used.
The font is also, again, bold and easy to read which is exactly what I
wanted, however I still do not like the idea of the design being spread
out all across the top of my front cover.
I wanted to try out a design that had
a more of a scripted font just to see
what it would look like. I discovered
it doesn’t look right, it doesn’t stand
out and I know that I will defiantly
not be using any fonts like the in my
magazine for any of that main titles
as its not clear and does not look
professional.
