Title Analysis

To make sure I get a title that stands out to the public and differs from others I will go through existing magazine titles and analyse them which will show me how to get the best possible title design as possible. I will focus on types of font, colour, size and other properties to help me get the best view of what title I should be aiming for.

This title block is from the magazine kerrang. This is also the same genre which I will be using for my magazine. It has typical conventions other title blocks in the rock and metal genre. The words are large and stand out and the font is also very unique. the broken rough look gives it a dangerous and this suits the vibe of the music as it rock and metal are usually associated with this kind of look.

This title block is from 'Q' magazine. This magazine is about alternative and indie rock although it does also talk about pop however; I will not use for my magazine. It uses a very recognisable title block and has a good design which is typical of the alternative rock genre. like the one which has been used in the NME magazine its simplicity and colour make it easy to remember and stand out against the other magazines.




This is a magazine title from a similar music genre I am doing. It has a nice contrast of font size, emphasising what kind of genre the magazine is. It contrasts the background really well despite the fact that on the left hand side there is a white colour overlap, the black outline covers it really well. This magazine title colour changes on each issue of the magazine; but the most common colour used is white.


 This is another magazine title of the same genre music as the one I intend to do. The combination of black, white and red really make the title stand out, making it catch the eye of a viewer. These colours again change with each issue, but never stray too far away from its three original colours. Sometimes the title is yellow but that is to contrast a similar colour background.
