Masthead Analysis



Conventions of magazine mastheads that I intend to use in my own work are below.

  • All mastheads are in somewhat bold and stand out, it is unusual to have anything other than thick, chunky writing - possibly in capitals - in order for people to clearly see the name.
  • The masthead commonly fits with the genre of magazine in order to appeal to a specific audience, for example an edgy masthead indicated a non-mainstream genre of music.
  • Mastheads typically stick to one or two main colours to keep it simple.
