Masthead

First of all, after creating the magazine name, I went onto the website

“dafont” http://dafont.com/ which when you type you’re text in,

this case my band name, different fonts and styles come up. I chose the style “rough typewriter” because its clear

yet has an edge of style about it. It is easily readable and is black and bold to

make it stand out.

After choosing the style and band name I had to print screen the page as the

college computers are not allowed to download. I pasted it into a photo shop

document. I then cut out the style of “city void” I wanted; copied it; then

deleted the whole layer.

Next, I opened up a new photo shop document. This was a clipboard

document, I thought this would be best to use as it is only a small size and as I'm

only creating a masthead at the moment thought it was appropriate.

After choosing the document type, I simply pasted the cut out style of “city void” I had

chosen and accurately fitted it into the “clipboard” area.

Lastly, I saved my document as a “JPEG” file so it will be easy to

upload onto my blog. I also made a PDF copy so when I come to

create my magazine cover I can use it.

Although my masthead is a very simple design I like it. I believe as I’m not aiming at a specific stereotype of the teenage audience is fits well – it is corresponds with all

different groups.
