Masthead Designs

I researched the different kinds of mastheads for exisiting popular magazines. Some were from Hip Hop magazines and others were from various genres. This gave me an idea on how to design my masthead that would be attracting and would stand out. I needed to make my masthead different to the others for it to be appealing, otherwise it would look the same as the other magazines and would not have its own identity. By doing this I realised that using the colour red for my masthead would not be a good choice, as a lot of other magazines had used red as their main colour for the heading.
