Masthead
Through my research of other music magazines I noticed that all the magazine mast head’s and title's where very catchy and simple. For example; "shout","kerrang" and "NME". Most of the names of the magazines were reflective of the genre of music, for example; "kerrang" cleverly used onomatopoeia to create a title of a magazine which symbolised the sound of hard rock in a simple iconic phrase.

For my magazine I experimented with a range of different words and phrases to use as the mast head for my magazine, which were representative of the genre of music focused in the magazine. For example these are a few of the phrases I can up with; “Spice”, “Beep”, “Pop rhythm” and “Bubblegum.” I wanted to come up with a unique title which would help to draw people’s attention. I also had to keep in mind that my target audience where primarily young teenage girls, therefore I wanted to create something that was understandable and relatable to them. Finally I came up with; “Popolicious”. This stood out to me, the most for a number of reasons. Firstly, it addressed the genre of music clearly “Popolicious” which would allow it to easily attract the target audience by clearly staging the genre of music it focused on. Secondly, I asked a number of different people if the name was catchy and appealing to them and I gathered a good, positive response. Finally, I believe that the “Popolicious” sums up my magazine effectively; it’s fun, girly and engaging.
Development of Maskhead...
Once again I went through a range of different fonts and desgins of the Mask head, before I decided on one which was most suitable for my magazine. I wanted to have soft, round font which was inviting to approach but still eye catching.
I decided that my colour scheme would consist of only 4 main colours. These are; pink, yellow, black and white. I wanted to keep the colour scheme simple because if I had too many different colours on the cover it would make it look messy, unprofessional and there would be too much going on. The colours chose all feminine colours that are eye catching and targets teenage girls.
