PRELIM TASK:masthead

My masthead is called key to success as my magazine is about guidance for the new sixth formers, therefore I thought it would be suitable for my magazine to be called key to success as the magazine acts as a ‘key’ to success. Also the name sounds sophisticated and mysterious therefore it will encourage people to buy this magazine as they may want to find out more about this mysterious ‘key’.

 I chose this font as it is looks sophisticated, clear and vibrant which are all key elements for a good masthead to attract my target audience.

This font on the other hand looked scary rather than attractive it’s also not suitable for a college magazine as this theme carries connotations that of horror which was is not my theme for this magazine.

I like this font as I feel it is sophisticated but not too much which would be ideal for the school magazine, however It would draw too much attention to the masthead rather than the other conventions on this magazine. Also some of the letters such as the ‘y’ are hard to identify which would make it unclear also there is too much space between each letter which would make it hard to fit the masthead on the magazine.
