Masthead Development

Masthead Development


Sketches




I drew out a range of different masthead ideas that i could potentially use for my final masthead.


Typefaces





I also found a variety of typefaces that i could use for the making of my masthead.



Chosen Typefaces



In the end i chose these 7 typefaces that i wanted to experiment with for my masthead.


Development


I do really like this design and think it flows well, however i don't think that it works well for a photography magazine.


Although i do like the idea of incorporating the lens into the O, the type really doesn't work very well or look too good.

Again another version of a lens image that i placed as the O, although it is the same problem and i think that i need to  try out different fonts.


I tried my design in this new font that i do like much more.


For this design i decided to more from the O and start to manipulate the C instead. I do like this masthead design, although i think the font is too thick for a photography style magazine.

I like how the font is thin and spread out in this design which gives this masthead a photography/fashion feel.

This is one of mt favourite designs, however i don't know how well this will work on a actual cover.

This is a simple design however i think it is eye catching and i like how the font is thin but bold at the same time.


This masthead was just  something i quickly put together and i don't think it would be too suitable for my photography theme.


Testing Mastheads








Final Masthead Development



I made some slight changes the my chosen masthead such as used capital locks and adjusted the spacing.
