Magazine Masthead Ideas/DevelopmentModernPersonal Feedback: This first font was my initial idea, using a variety of different examples, to come to the conclusion about the type of font that suited a Film magazine.

Feedback: Although the font may have some good aspects for example the way in which the text is quite square, I could see this font being used on a magazine cover however not on the cover of a romance magazine cover.

•MODERN• Personal Response: This text could be the least successful

for my masthead however, I would attempt to use this font in my magazine cover as a while.

• Feedback: I believe that this particular font would not be effective as a masthead for a magazine, it could be used for the font for the name of the film, if the film were sci-fi or action/adventure however I don’t believe this font would be a good masthead for a magazine representing this particular genre.

•MODERN• Personal Response:This was the stage in masthead

development where the idea was beginning to take shape, this suited the name of the magazine. However for a romance cover I believed it was too sharp.

• Feedback: This font could potentially be a good font for a masthead, however the font is not actually bold enough to be used on a masthead and the characters themselves are a little sharp and edgy which the romance genre doesn’t tend to resemble.

MODERNPersonal Response: This font was the font that I finally chosen to use in my masthead the idea of the font resembling the name of the magazine, and also incorporating the soft, rounded edges that I wanted to have.

Feedback: This font has all the elements in which to make a decent masthead, the characters are soft and rounded whilst the characters also are bold giving the masthead the opportunity to be coloured and changed, this font I could see being used on a magazine of this genre.

• After deciding the develop the final font further, I had to then develop the colour of the font, beginning with a plan normal font colour.

• Personal Response: The colour black did not resemble the feeling that I wished to portray through my magazine, the black did not incorporate the soft yet stylish love feeling as well as I wished.

• Feedback: The colouring of this font is too plain to be used on a masthead resembling this genre, the black you would particularly expect to be seen on a horror magazine or a magazine relating to darkness.

• Personal Response:As a common colour associated with the romance genre, I believed that red would be a good colour to use, however I realised that relating to the image I would want to use, that the red would not actually match the rest of the magazine cover.

• Feedback- Again the colouring of the font here does not work in terms of the poster itself however it does resemble the romance genre, I can understand the use of the red colour however I don’t believe that the picture and other elements of the poster could match this. If the poster would be darker this could be effective.

• Personal Response: The gold was a good progression in terms of the colours for the masthead, however I did not believe that the colours were what I wanted just yet so I decided to use the gold colour elsewhere on the cover.

• Feedback: If the font were to be gold rather than a browny colour I think it could be good, however the colour shown above isnt too effective.

• Personal Response: Finally I came to the colour that I believed suited the magazine the most and using the softer, silver colour, I think this and the gold colours on the poster would work sufficiently well.

• Feedback: Although the colours may be quite plain, the colours actually would fit the expectations of the audience in terms of the masthead and the rest of the magazine cover.
