  Dislike I don’treally like the use of font for this masthead because it looks too similar to other magazines. There isn't any originality and if I was going to link the font for my masthead to my cover stories It may not suit the genre.

  Dislike I dolike this font but I wouldn’t use this for a masthead for a music magazine, especially for my genre. Its has a more ‘girly’ look and id want my magazine to appeal to both male and female.

  Dislike I'm notkeen on this font because I prefer more simple fonts on magazines and not too fancy. Whereas with this masthead it does have quite a fancy look. The ‘F’ doesn’t look like the same font has been used to the rest of the word, because is a lot larger and has a different look to it. I would probably want to stick to using one font for my masthead because it might make the front cover look over the top and messy.

  Dislike I wouldwant my masthead font to have a simple but different look but this masthead is too simple for the genre that I am doing. This masthead looks like its for a magazine that wouldn’t have a lot going on in it. It also again looks like it would appeal more to females which isn't what I want.

  Like This mastheadlooks good and would suit a magazine that would want their masthead to cover the top of cover. I like the font because it links to my genre, it has a direct look and is eye catching. I think this font would be suitable for what I what I would want to include on the front cover, because I don’t want the front cover to look over crowded with cover stories, and this masthead could easy make the front cover look over crowded if too much was included.

  Like I likethe font used for this masthead because it is bold, not too fancy and would suit my genre. I like the idea of having one of the letters tilted or in a different position to the rest of the letters because it gives it a bit of originality that other mastheads don’t have.

  Like I likethis font and idea of masthead because the font itself is simple, but has also been made to look so it suits and represents the genre, just by having thin lines through the middle. This masthead is different and unique which is what I would want to be aiming for when deciding on my own masthead. It is also bold and would be eye catching at the top of a magazine. The only issue with this masthead design is it wouldn’t suit a magazine that had a lot going on the front cover because it would make it look over crowded.
