1. Masthead ideas:
This font could be good as my
Masthead because it is unique and so
would be recognisable. It is in all
capitals so stands out, and the first
letter of each word is in a box so stands
out more. It seems quite ‘edgy’ and
different. However, the font isn’t
particularly thick so may not stand out.
This font is a simple eroded font, which
is typical of the indie rock genre and is
often used on album covers and
magazines that feature this genre,
meaning the target audience would
recognise it as featuring that specific
genre. It is bold and stands out clearly,
as well as being simple and not too
complex.
This is another eroded font. I looked at
a lot of eroded style fonts as I knew
they were typical of the genre and had
connotations of rock and being ‘indie’.
It is quite a bold font so would be easily
seen. It is also quite messy which
suggests being rebellious and
http://www.urbanfonts.com/ independent which are values of the
indie rock genre, as well as values that
would appeal to the target audience of
older teenagers and young adults.
However it may not be the easiest font
to read.
This font is a script-style font, so
looks as if it were scribbled with a
pen, which looks quite edgy and is
unique for magazine mastheads so
http://www.dafont.com/blackboard.font?text=Indie+rock would stand out on the newsstand.
However, it is not particularly bold
and may not stand out against the
background of the magazine cover,
meaning it would not be easily seen
by the audience.

2. This is another font that looks as if
it were written with a pen. It is like
a doodle, or a scribble which
suggests it’s laid back, informal
mode of address and would appeal
to the predominantly teenaged

target audience.
This font is also eroded and very
bold, so would stand out and have
an impact. It’s also simple so would
easily be spotted and recognised by
the magazine’s target audience,
http://www.dafont.com/harris-wear.font?text=Indie+rock whilst easily being seen amongst the
other magazines on the stands.
The lines around this font made
it seem different and unique, as
well as highlighting the
masthead which I think is
important as the masthead also
http://www.dafont.com/-top-secret.font?text=Indie_rock clearly displays the genre of the
magazine and so will draw the
target audience to it.
