MASTHEAD DESIGN

Now you know what your magazine is going to be called (you should have decided this for your Mission Statement), you need to have some fun designing some mastheads.

Use the inspiration from the fonts you have included in your moodboard and design about 5 on one Indesign A4 template – make a note of the fonts, size that you use alongside it.

  • Design at least 4 from Indesign fonts.
  • Focus on weight, size, height, boldness etc and add some effects from the FX button.
  • Once you have created 4 , we can import fonts from dafont.com – but you need to create your own subfolder in the FONTS folder in the p drive and download them into that (we will get the technicians to come and import these all at one go).
  • You can take screen shots of up to 3 additional fonts from dafont.com and include them in the post.
  • Remember, bold and conventional font for the genre of the music and one that is also eye catching.
  • Choose one final design and include it on its own A4 template in Indesign and position and size it accordingly.

Inclusions:

  • Introduction to brand and importance of mastheads.
  • 4 indesign examples.
  • 3 dafont, screen shots of fonts.
  • 1 final design.
