Creating My Masthead

Firstly, I came up with the title 'SPOTLIGHT' as I felt it created a fun, current vibe that relates to the genre of music that my magazine is about. I selected a very basic font to make it as user friendly as possible, ensuring the user can read it, however, the harsh angles and bold typography create a contemporary feel, making the magazine feel current and up to date. I selected a red font as in my survey, my demographic opted for a red, black and white colour scheme, and I felt the masthead should be one of the main features that stands out.

 I used the text tool in order to create the masthead as it allowed me to change the settings to achieve my desired look. I selected the font 'Avenir Next Condensed Heavy' as it is very easy to read and fits in with the style of my magazine.
