Masthead study 1

One of the first things that people notice about a magazine is it's Masthead. The Masthead has the power to sell magazines and most of the time provide a base for the house style of the rest of the magazine.

Here are a few that I find really well done and draw my eyes to the magazine when I see them in shop.


I find a lot of the Mastheads pictured above contain the colours red, black and white. The combination of red, black and white is widely known as a powerful color scheme.Even subtle touches of red make a huge impact on this largely black and white design scheme. Decorating with red, specifically in the office, is said to promote concentration and can even prevent procrastination.
