FRI 14TH
LESSON:
MASTHEAD RESEARCH + DRAFTING:
1: RESEARCH:
Find and list 5+ magazines in your broad genre (sports, music, teen etc). Save an image of a sample cover for each. Put the mastheads into a document [crop or screenshot], and in a short paragraph describe any masthead design features that you think to magazines of this type. These links will help you find examples:

UK mags (short list);
Wiki: British magazines;
Wiki: entertainment magazines;
Magforum: you can click by genre for a longer list;

2: MASTHEAD MOCK-UP
Mock-up 3+ versions of a possible masthead for YOUR proposed NEW magazine.

Create in Photoshop, then save as PNG (which you can paste into a Word/Pages doc [save any Pages doc: SAVE AS...WORD DOC]).

Provide a short paragraph (3-5 sentences) with each, denoting [describing] the font and design decisions then explaining how this reflects YOUR target audience (connotations; symbolic purposes). Address both primary and secondary audiences if you can.

List 3+ possible slogans (DON'T just stick with one at this stage), and explain as for the masthead your design choices (including language/phrases used) and how this would successfully target your specified audience.

OPTIONAL: Add draft skylines.

Complete masthead/slogan work before next lesson, Tuesday 18th.
