LO4: Creating a Masthead

LO2: Creating a Masthead

Firstly I began with a font I thought fitting of the rock genre of magazines which used a sans serif font to appeal to the teenage audience. This style was then elaborated with back banners around the letters which clashed with each other in each letter's height, linking back to the name and the conflict theme behind it, relating to the liberation of musical expression in Iran. 

Next I furthered the conflict theme through making the banners seem battered and shattering, gunshots present in one of the letters signifying the rebellion of people which is so iconic about rock and it's conventions as a genre. 

Finally I altered the colours to a neon pink so that they would convey my house style colours in a simple format which is easy to read, visually pleasing, unique and conveys meaning through connotations.
