Masthead Design Ideas:

After deciding on my final masthead for my music magazine, 'BritScene', I was  happy because it was very well suited with my chosen genre, Britpop, and i have based this choice on both personal preference and my results from the questionnaire i handed out to a sample group. Therefore, i am certain it will appeal to my target audience and will be eyecatching. My aim in to include my logo with the masthead name. For example, creating a 'B' that resembles a union jack, which can be easily recognized and symbolic. From looking at these masthead designs i have recenty created i can easily say that i much prefer design 'number 2.'. Because it includes the logo and is bold, eye catching, artsy and unique. Therefore, i think that i would like to include this in my final magazine front cover.

I am also considering the use of the 'British Coat of Arms', i could possibly do some experimenting with this design by using alternative colours (red, blue, white) and this acting as my possible logo. Because, i love the intricate detailing and the relavance it has with 'British' music.
