Production Diary #5

This lesson we had to brainstorm masthead ideas for our music magazines. I contributed a variety of numerous masthead names in my brainstorm that suited my genre (chart magazine). I wanted it to be simple but bold, something related to music and that people would remember. From 'MC' which is an acronym and stands for 'Music Central'to 'Tune Into Radioactive', 'Electra-Heart' and 'Fire Starter' which are phrases and 'Dynamic' which is a connotive musical term that means how loud or quiet the sound is.

I came up with 28 names that could be contributed for my magazine - however, at the moment I am thinking of using 'Dynamic'. I think it is effective in terms of it being related to music, it's simple, bold and doesn't apply to a particular target audience which chart magazines are supposed to do.

I then went on a site named 'dafont.com' which provides a variety of different fonts to choose from. I looked at the basic fonts and chose eight from the variety. Afterwards, I pasted it onto photoshop to see which one I would like the most visually.

So far I am still deciding but I have narrowed it down to three particular fonts.
