These masthead are collected from different magazines that are in publish today and to create my own masthead I must first analyse different Mastheads of different magazines, so that I can gain some ideas and feedback into my own.
RWD- In my opinion I think that the genre of music for this magazine is pop. I think this because the font is styled fun and how it uses the R as rewind with the rexind art on the left.
KERRANG- In my opinion I think that the genre of music for this magazine is rock. I think this because how it uses the font as from where I see it looks like its been shattered (and also I think that rock can be loud to shatter things) and that is what this font is. Also with the exclamation mark coud mean that its making a point/ or statement, or even to show expression (but it could also refer to it being loud). With the colour choice of black and white it is a typical/ stereotypical colour/s for rock
Q- In my opinion I think that the genre of music for this magazine is all round. I think this because it dosn't show in my opinion the genre of music and it is just a simple Q (but Q could mean many things). It could mean the Q for music or the biggect star that are now and/ or that are rising.
The Source- In my opinion I think that the genre of music for this magazine is Pop. I think this because of the font it looks like a pop style but I also think that it could also represent Rap because it also looks like a font for rap music and how "THE" is on the left of "SOURCE" but also it is on its side.
Hip Hop- In my opinion I think that the genre of music for this magazine is Rap. I think this because the font is swayed and its font looks like it is in a sort of graffiti and through Rap conveyed in the media (i.e. Films and Television), this would be a typical font for Rap and with the use of the colours grey and black and how Hip is black and Hop is grey shows that both are different but fit together.
VIBE- In my opinion I think that the genre of music for this magazine is R&B. I think this becuase the font is bold and in capital letters and it is simple which is what I would find on R&B and with the colour red would/ makes it bold and it is an R&B colour.
MixMag- In my opinion I think that the genre of music for this magazine is Electronic. I think this because the font is bold and it has a seperate design for the "I" as instead of a dot it has a cricle in a circle to replace it this is a reason why I think it is Electronic and also with the uses of the colour grep for the title it is (to me) a typical colour for Electronic because of the metal pianos and all the metal instruments and equipment that are used to make Electronic music.
XXL- In my opinion I think that the genre of music for this magazine is Rock/ Punk. I think this because the font is bold and it has (in my view) that look of rock and with the use of the colours of white and red which is a colour of rock for ewxample it has been a combination colou in rock and punk (especially in the 80's or 90's.
In general different fonts have a wide variety or style, colours and meaning (i.e. the type of magazine and what is its main type of music genre). With this I will be able to gain information and inspiration in creating my own masthead for my magazine, from this I have been able to identify the different aspects and conventions when looking at mastheads from other different music magazines.
