Research and planning: Mastheads Fonts

Masthead Fonts 

We was given three magazine mastheads, one a music magazine called 'Death Metal', another music magazine called 'Popworld' and a film magazine called 'Popcorn'. We had to choose fonts for each masthead which represents the magazine or genre well. This is what I came up with: 

 

I chose the font for the masthead 'Death Metal' as it looks bold, and I feel like it shows death metal or darkness, I used red because I relate death metal to red and black, as it is dark/danger like.

 

I chose the font for the masthead 'Popworld' as it looks like a popular, simple font, which looks like one you would see on a pop magazine, I also chose the colour as in between blue and purple as blue is stereotypically seen as a boys colour, and purple as a girls colour, therefore the colour is in the middle therefor the magazine will cater for everybody and wouldn't just have a specific target audience.

 

I chose the font for the masthead 'Popcorn' as it looks animated, which links to the cinema or films, and as 'Popcorn' is a film magazine I feel like it portrays the magazine well. I also chose red as it is a popular colour and again would not narrow down the target audience.
