Final Masthead

This is the final masthead for the magazine which I am producing and all of the products which I am making as part of the course. the choice for the features of this masthead have been specifically chosen in order to appeal to my target audience. The first part of this masthead that would appeal to my target audience is the font used. the font is very fun and bold making it stand out. The font is of a sans serif style, which appears less formal than serif fonts which are typically used more in formal texts. This makes the masthead seem more fun, which will appeal to a young target audience. This is because anything which can be connoted as fun, will stereotypically appeal to a young audience. I can infer this from Hebdige's theory 'youth as fun' suggesting that youth like anything which can be seen as fun. 

The next part of this masthead which should appeal to my target audience is because of the colour used. The colour used in this masthead is bright in colour. After looking at my target audience research I have discovered that they would like to see bright colours on my magazine which is typical for people of this age range. By using bright colours in my masthead it will draw my target audience in and make them want to read my magazine. 

By using a large stroke it makes the masthead stand out which again will draw readers in.
