Typography

By Ross Georgallides

The idea I have for my music magazine is very unique and exclusive due to how Im going to set it up. What is the magazine called? I went with a simple name that expresses how my genre of music makes the listeners feel. I thought of various names and sayings but came up with a simple yet powerful one word magazine. I researched if other magazines have this name and found out it is not in use yet. Therefore I am calling the magazine HYPE. These are a few of my masthead ideas

I made a questionnaire involving all 9 of these masthead fonts asking which of the following mastheads do you believe is the best for the magazine and why do you believe this?. Over 50% chose number 1 as it fits in with the name of the masthead. It also has a street style appearance which links in with the genre of hip-hop and rap.
