Masthead Names

PUNK!I think this is a good masthead for my magazine as it is a punk rock magazine this name immediately tells the reader exactly what to expect from/in the magazine. Also it stands out quite well as it is quite loud.

MAYHEMThis masthead is also one of my favourites, I think it is a bit unusual and it have connotations of being chaotic just like some people’s interpretation of punk rock could be, also it is a bit longer so it creates more variation in my ideas.

ANARCHYI do really like this masthead name,

however it is very similar to ‘mayhem’ so if I chose one of them then it would be a choice between

the two, although this has more of a rebellious tone to it, of which I like

as I feel like it could reflect the audience.

SCREAMThis is quite a common idea for a masthead, and I do not think it is

very inventive or will stand out from others, I do like it, but I do not think

it is that original and interesting enough.

Masthead Names

CRASHI like this name as it sounds like the crash of a symbol on a drum kit, and I think it has a powerful onomatopoeia sound to it. Moreover, it is short, so it is memorable and I think it fits the style of my magazine very well.

BANGThis replicates the sound of someone hitting a drum. I think it is good because it fits with a punk rock genre, and it is short and an onomatopoeia so it can be easily remembered, however I think it may not relate to my magazine as well as some of the others.

ZI thought of this name (letter)

because the one letter idea (like the magazine Q) is well remembered. I chose the letter Z because I think it

is quite edgy. Despite this I don’t think a one letter masthead is as

appropriate/fitting with my genre magazine.

RAGEI Like this name as it is quite

powerful and has a slight attitude to it, which fits the theme of my

magazine and I feel like it would reflect the type of audience that

would buy my magazine. I also like how it is short but creates a brand.

Once I had come up with different masthead names for my magazine, I had to decide on one, and then I had to create lots of different designs of that one masthead. I had to decide on the one that I felt best represented my magazine genre. I also chose to capitalise all of the mastheads as it creates a more powerful name and one that stands out on a page.

Moreover, as I am using Kerrang magazine as my inspiration for my magazine I chose this design as I fell like it best resembles the Kerrang design as it is slightly broken up as if it has crashed into something and then shattered. Furthermore, I think the style and the name are very appropriate for the magazine I am creating, also I think the design is quite interesting.
