MUSIC MAGAZINE MASTHEADS

These are some examples of mastheads i have researched of. All these different types of fonts look effective and suitable for my music magazine  cover and my target audience. 'Live' 'Bang' and 'Beat' were titles that sounded interesting and i wanted to play around with the fonts. After researching for many different font styles i decided to go with 'Bang' which was the one that was voted the most. 'Bang' links to music, its a sound as well as an onomatopoeia. Its like a beat involved in Hip Hop and R&B music. Bang is a sudden loud or a sharp noise that links with music. 

I then focused on the masthead 'Bang' only which was the most voted masthead out of all of them. I found different kind of fonts and styles.
This font is one of the best fonts. It looks complex but clear enough for my target audience to understand. I did not choose a simple font, i wanted to go with something that seems more interesting and says more than just simple. The name of my title makes sense to how it is designed as the title is breaking because of the sound 'Bang'. However 6/30 people voted for this masthead, which came second.


This is another font that is suitable for my magazine cover. This font is bold and clear and would be noticeable on my cover. the reason why i chose the font as suitable for my cover is because i would suggest something a little more simple as my cover may include so much to look at and a little complex, a bold font would step across the rest. However this was the most voted font, 11/30 out of all the fonts. This font collected the most amount of votes  from my target audience.
