Masthead Revision



Masthead Revision -

After analysing music magazine mastheads I found that instead of using a plain rectangle and simple font (like I currently have on my preliminary magazine), they added a more recognisable feature to the masthead, for example Kerrang has a cracked effect which reflects what kind of magazine it is.

I had the idea to turn each letter of the word “Synergy” into a piece of school equipment, for example the “S” could be in the shape of a pencil, and the “Y” in the shape of a paint brush etc.

I think this will make the magazine look more interesting to the target audience, opposed to a really formal masthead.

To create the letters I will draw them on paper, scan it into the computer, and then outline the letters in PhotoShop, and colour them in etc.

Here is the pen sketch I created on paper:
