Different font styles/ colours/ size for my masthead

During my research and planning i focused on various masthead used by magazines from different genres.

Below is the masthead from vibe magazine. Vibe is a hip hop magazine, who targets a wide range of age groups. The font of this masthead is in bold a black. The letters "V,I and B" are in capital letters, whereas the letter "e" is in lower case. Below the masthead is a the slogan of the magazine. "redefining hip-hop". The words "hip-hop" are in blue to allow it to stand out and show the significance of the genre.


Below is the masthead from the magazine mixmag. Mixmag is a magazine which is aimed towards DJ's as it contains a wide range of music which are often used for mixing. The font of the masthead is curved and white. The "i" has a dot which resembles a disk often used by DJ's.



Below is the masthead from the magazine The Source. The Source is a music magazine which specialties in the Hip Hop genre. The magazine is aimed mainly at the age group 16- 30. I get this impression from the artists used and the content. The masthead demonstrates the power of the magazine as it has a hand with a firm grip on the "o".The colour of the masthead is red which resembles a colour of passion.



Below is the masthead from the magazine Kerrang! Kerrang! is a music magazine which promotes the rock genre. The magazine targets the age group of elderly teens. The font and colour of the masthead is in white with a black background. The masthead is an onomatopoeia as it looks as it sounds. The font is shattered and in capital letters.
