This is a few designs of how I would like my mastheads to look on my music magazine. I used InDesign to do this and I decided to go for red because it will suit the costume as the top is red.

I wanted to have one or two colours on the masthead because, as the title says, I want my magazine to be simple but to be manipulated so that it is can attract a huge audience.

I like the blue masthead with the different size letters because I think it looks different and unusual. I think if I were to use this masthead then it would add something extra to my magazine, as it isn’t a ‘typical’ masthead style. I also like the black outlining it because it makes it stand out a bit more.

I don’t particularly like the last masthead because I feel like having two separate colours is a little too much. I think there will be enough going on, on my front cover anyway that two colours may just be confusing. However, I do like the third one which also has two colours but they are more broken up which looks better than one letter in one colour and another in a different.
