MastheadFor my masthead I looked at the ‘top of the pops’ magazine. I found it was mostly bright, informal font. Also I saw that most mastheads go the whole way across the page. I used these ideas for my masthead.

However ‘top of the pops’ haven’t used capital letters but I have and they put a outline on their writing but I didn’t. I have used two different colours on my masthead like on the ‘top of the pops’.

Main image• Sometimes pop magazines use a boy band as their main image as

the magazine is targeted at girls. It’s usually a boy band that girls are obsessed with and will therefore be drawn to it. However I chose to have a female pop star as my main image as the girls see her as a role model.
