Production Diary

In todays lesson we looked at and analysed existing mastheads and names. By analysing the mastheads and names I was able to understand the significance of having a bold eye catching masthead because this is inevitably going to be the firs thing a reader will see. Furthermore the name is also important as it has to be memorable. For example the name Kerrang! originates from the sound of an out of tune guitar being strung. This makes it unique and therefore stands out against other magazine names such as Classic Rock to which ultimately serves a different purpose to Kerrang! This analysis has allowed me to deduce how I can approach creating my masthead and indeed magazine name.
