Masthead banners





Looking at these three, the first thing is they all contain a red as there main colour. This is because they may be trying to put accross fear or passion, Although i need to keep to some of the convention i think i will change the colour therefore challenging the conventions of Indie magazines and making my product unique. All of these especially NME and Q have used very basic fonts i believe this is majorly important convention as people will therefore not be confused as to what the magazine is called or what magazine they will be reading.





Looking at this i have therefore decided to use blue in my masthead i have also decided to use a basic font however in order to make this a bit more authentic i have given it a rustic, damaged look i believed this was a good idea as the retro scene is very much a part of the Indie scene and is in fashion now so "followers" will think the magazine looks cool. The blue has been used instead of red to challenge the conventions and also because men like the colour red and see it is professional and truthful therefore i don't want people to believe that my magazine is using fake information
