In preparation for creating my magazine, I designed some mastheads
that I could use on my front cover. Having an effective masthead is important for
any magazine as many shops and outlets that sell magazines have too many to
display to be able to put them out on the shelf next to one another. Because of
this, having an effective Upper left third masthead is the best way to ensure
your magazine is seen by everyone who looks.
When designing my mastheads I decided to keep the colour scheme as
Red fill with black outline (this may change later) to give myself a fair
comparison between all of my designs.
Designs 1, 2, 3 and 4 are simply different fonts (1: Amelia BT 2:
Cinema
Gothic BTN Shadow 3: Annie BTN 4:
Agency
FB) with
the same colour scheme, while design 5 is a mixture of Times New Roman and Agency
FB however,
the O and the arrow coming off the O was my own design. I decided to use an
arrow in this design as the word “Outre” comes from the French word “Outré” meaning
“unusual and typically rather shocking.” Or “Out of the norm” – Something that I
feel represents the Alternative music scene. After looking over these 5
designs, I prefer my own design, number 5 as it is unique, but also captures
the meaning behind the name.
