Magazine design - masthead
So, after choosing my cover image, I had to design my masthead. I originally chose 3 fonts on Photoshop, before I found the perfect font on a website called 'Dafont.com'. The first 3 that I chose on Photoshop were 3 separate fonts and I used 3 different shades of pink. I then played around with the sizes, drop shadows, bevel and emboss, contour, texture, stroke and inner shadow.
Below are the 3 different fonts that I originally designed and a screenshot of them being edited on Photoshop.
I then had to do all of this again after I found my preferred font on 'Dafont.com".
After editing it, I then had to choose which colour I preferred. I ideally wanted the colour of the masthead to match a colour on the image. I originally wanted the picture to be in black and white and the masthead to be bright pink, however, I changed my mind in that I want the picture to be in colour, so I then had to create mastheads to match. I first chose a pale pink/beige colour to match her lips, however, I thought it was too neutral and didn't stand out enough. Then I chose a blue/green colour to match her eyes, however, I thought that it wasn't a very female colour, considering they're my target audience. So I thought I would go for a more suited colour for my audience and I chose pink, but it didn't really match anything on the picture. In the end, I chose a red/orange/pink colour that matches the headphones cable really well, it stands out and is attractive to my target audience.
Here are all the colours I experimented with:
End result
