The Source Masthead Deconstruction

The Source masthead is two words and picture. The two words are designed in a big bold font and there are two microphones in the masthead. The words are created using a red font outlined in white, this helps The Source magazine to catch the readers eye as red is the first colour that most readers notice especially on a black background.. The two microphones in the picture straight away tell the reader that this is a music magazine and may be suggesting that this is the magazine for voicing opinions in the rap/hip-hop genre.

From this magazine I can tell that the colour is big factor in creating a masthead plus the background used to make the font standout even more, I can also gather from this that bold font is used a lot for rap/hip-hop magazines and I may look at using this for my magazine.
