Names Designs

These are some of the masthead designs I created whilst trying to decide on my final one. I thought about using colour in my magazine masthead, so experimented with blue, red and yellow. I also used several effects such as stroke and bevel on some of the masthead designs.

Masthead design

One of my ideas for my masthead was to create a collage of letters cut from a magazine and placed them together. I cut out the letters from different newspaper headlines to create the masthead design. I set up a video camera to film me sticking together the letters to form the word indiependence. I put the video on premiere and sped it up so it all happens over 26 seconds. I thought this was an interesting way of showing my masthead idea.

Inspiration

This photo bucket presentation includes a handful of photos which I also found inspiring when researching into magazines and photo shoots. I need to make my model stand out whilst also conforming to the genre of the magazine which is rock/indie. I researched into Lady Gaga, Taylor Momsem, Jessie J and Florence Welch as I feel they correspond best to the genre I am trying to recreate in my magazine. Not only are these photos providing me with inspirational stances to use in my photo shoot but also artists to include on my front cover and contents page.
