Masthead Concepts

Various Concepts

This design is my initial concept and has been used as my trademark up until this point. It is simple but sleek and is rather appealing to the eye. The word "Broken" looks as if its snapped in half to further the concept of the break between the generations and the representation issues that arise because of it. This is the masthead I will use for my final piece as it has gone through development and proven effective.

The next concept is an earlier design and is almost identical. However it doesn't have the break in the title so may not help get across the connotation of the break that my magazine aims to focus on. This may leave potential audiences unaware of the meaning. This has also had its font changed from the previous design.

My first concept is very basic and was considered too simplistic. I created it at the beginning of the topic and it was useful at the time. I used bright colours as I thought they would contrast and create an effective binary opposition. They would've also fitted with my initial genre which was Pop. However I decided after my survey feedback that this wasn't the genre or style my magazine needed. instead i developed the idea to its next phase which involved changing the colours and font.
