Masthead

The font I used throughout did vary for different aspects of the magazine. For example, the name Rochelle was usually written in pink, in a script font. The names of other artists were written in a plain sans serif font. The title font was very similar to that of the font used in Elle magazine. This is because Elle magazine is aimed at women, and so is my magazine. The Elle magazine title is an elegant serif font. This is the look I was attempting to create in my music magazine masthead. Throughout my Preliminary and Main Task, I found myself, continuously asking friends and peers for advice, because they fitted the target audience of my magazine and their input was crucial. This was similar to the research carried out for my main music magazine. The name of my magazine is ‘Fusion’. The definition of fusion is “an occurrence that involves the production of a union” or “a coalition: the state of being combined into one body” or “the merging of adjacent sounds or syllables or words”. All of these definitions are relevant, because it shows that even though Fusion is a music magazine, there are aspects of fashion magazines and gossip magazines in it, so it appeals to all types of females between the target audience ages. Also the word ‘fusion’ is a short catchy word for the slightly younger generation to remember and recognise.
