The document discusses potential name and design options for the masthead of a magazine focused on rock, metal, and punk music. It considers names like "Rebel Yell", "Distortion", and "Basket Case" that reference rebellious themes common in those music genres. It also proposes using black as the masthead color since black is strongly associated with metal and rock aesthetics like black leather and black metal. The goal is for the masthead to clearly convey that the magazine will cover rock, metal and punk music in an informal style for audiences interested in those genres.

5. Rebel Yell
I chose Rebel Yell because I associate rock and
metal music initially with being rebellious and going
against the status quo. In addition, by using this
name as my magazine head mast, it connotes that
the magazine will be informing it’s audiences
about the music industry in an informal manner.

6. Distortion
This links with a guitar setting, which is commonly
used in heavy metal and rock music, this illustrates
the genre of the magazine and the target
audience.

7. Basket Case
I chose this as a mast head because Basket Case is
the common word used to describe a social
outcast (at least it was) and appears in most punk-
rock songs, such as Green Day’s song: Basket
Case. This can link to how rock, punk and metal
music were rebellious at the time and can appeal
to the ‘social outcasts’ in today’s society.

8. I have chosen black as the masthead
colour as it is significant to the metal and
rock genre, for example the increase in
black leather, black metal etc. also the
colour will be able to match whatever
the magazine features, the mast head
would not have to change in any way.
