Masthead Ideas

Title/Logo Ideas:

• TONE
• TEMPO
• KARA comes from the Greek word meaning "sweet melody"
• TRAX
• DYNAMICS
• DAZED
• HARMONY
• RHYTHM

Tone- this masthead was too small and through feedback many people said it is not suitable for pop music magazine

TEMPO- sounds more masculine and would suite more with a hip hop magazine

Kara- this will be difficult for the audience to understand because its meaning is in another language therefore it does not match to be the title for a pop magazine

TraX- I was going to use this because I like the way it is a play on words where it has an -X at the end instead of ‘Tracks’ which sounds less exciting however it is too short when placed on the cover it does not fill the top part of the front cover mock up and when enlarged the letters look too spaced out

Dazed- This does not show the identity of the magazine it can be a fashion magazine as well as a music one therefore I will not use it I want to use a title that can tell the audience the theme of the magazine

Harmony- This sounds more soul or R&B and sounds more feminine than masculine therefore I will not use it for my title

Dynamics –matches the magazine but is quite dull

The two masthead ideas I liked most was Dyanmics and TraX, so after feedback from my peers, I decided to merge the ideas from Trax onto Dynamics making it DYNAMIX- I really liked this idea because it also has ‘mix’ at the end which can refer to the mixture of different articles in the magazine or relate to the mix of gender of target audience (unisex)
