MastHead Development

Initial Masthead/logo designs and mind mapping different ideas, styles and methods of creation. 

.

trying different styles to see how my logo/masthead could possibly look. 

Here I was testing typefaces and fonts use for my Logo.

Whilt creating these mastheads I was also deciding on how to best display, place and size my masthead. They all seem to have a basi size but some of the more recognisable mastheads are the ones that are a bit more unusual ones, which was what I was hoping to create. 

Several masthead/logos that I created to test across different platforms to decided which was to become my final chosen masthead.

This is my chosen Logo design because I feel it works best out of the lot and is easily recognisable, viewable and would work on a range of different platforms including online platforms. 

My finished logo designs placed on a range of different covers to see what works bestacross all the different platforms. 

Magazine Research

Before I could even begin to create and develop my magazine ideas I had to do a lot of research into current magazines in varying different genres, themes and topics to see what worked and didn't and take aspects of what was working to include in my own creation. This research was especially useful to me because not only did you get knowledge of the industry but also got to see differences in styles, genres and layouts used.

Music Magazines.

General Magazines.

Poorly presented Magazine in my opinion. 

Film Magazines.

Music Magazines. 

Snowboarding Magazines.

Magazine Tasks

These two tasks were initially setting at the beginning of the project so that we could get some first hand experience before we started the project officially. We had to look through some magazines and choose some pages to copy and layout as close as possible to what we could see in the magazine.
