Research and analysis activity- Mastheads

Your first task is to complete your masthead analysis.

1. Select 5 mastheads from music magazines
2. Save them in your pictures
3. Upload them to your blog

Then......

you will need to comment upon:

• the use of fonts, style, colour, lowercase, uppercase etc.
• the use of shadow, fills and lines/ strokes
• the connotation of the word used for the masthead
• any use of effects/ graphics
• whether it sits in a banner, callout etc.
• what type of magazine it is, genre(s) of music, type of content etc. (research their website)
• who is their intended audience?  again research is key here, you will need to look at a range of sources to help you.
