Masthead Ideas

I had asked some students what masthead they had prefered from my ideas and which they thought was suitable for a rock magazine, with the age range from 14+.

This is the results:

Masthead	Tally	Total
Supernova	IIII II	7
Skream!	IIII IIII	9
Electric Funk	I	1
Hard Rock	I	1

It was close betweeen Supernova and Skream! But 2 more had preferred Skream!, so using theses results i have come to a conclusion on having Skream! as the magazines masthead.
The name Skream! relates to the way rock music screams out emotions to the audience and also refers to the fans screams in concerts.


Some designs I had come up with:

SKREAM!

SKREAM!SKREAM!  SKREAM!

The first two designs are related to the magazine Kerrang!, as the writing looks broken and worn out, this shows the freedom and expression of rock music and how people can scream as  load as they want.

The last two designs are linked to the Rock Sound magazine as it had a very simple masthead, so by using a simple font the word skream! stands out more and really hits the audience as they read it.

I then asked some students opinions again on the design of the masthead and which was more suitable.
