Since my magazine will encorporate a lot of stories about upcoming artists who are not yet well known, up and coming seems like a relevant masthead for this magazine. I merged letters from existing font samples online that proved to be an effective font when it came to persuasive texts. I thought this could then be used for a magazine masthead as the colours are bright and draw attention whilst being a calming shade that would be appropriate for most ages.
I thought of the name 'Horizon' as the magazine mostly looks at unknown artists that are on the horizon. The colour of the masthead would represent a sunset as this is often thought of when imagining a horizon as well as being a rather calming colour palette. Having a sun behind the title also adds to this effect. I chose the font because the flicks make it appeal more to a younger audience as it is not a boring font whilst still being easy to read and not so much of a young looking font to be off putting to a slightly older audience.
'NCM' stands for Nicole Coulthard Magazine. This was a less imaginative idea but creates a brand that incorporates the name of the creator the way that plenty of other businesses have. The font puts the reader in the mind of a 1980s rock style and as bands such as the Beatles and Rolling Stones are becoming popular again with younger audiences, many people will be used to seeing this style of writing recently. This means that this font has connotations of a certain type of music which is what will be in the majority of my issues.
