Masthead design process

 First off, I started by picking a suitable font for the masthead. I chose this font which is the same font the metal band Megadeth use for their logo, instantly making a connection with my chosen genre.
 I then moved the masthead further down the page and made it larger so it has a bigger appearance on the cover.
 After i was happy with the position of the masthead, I had to decide on the colours. I used the conventional red and black colours as this is what my research shows as a popular scheme
Finally, to make my masthead stand out and look extra original, I layered a second copy of the masthead text over the first. I then inverted the colours of the outline and the fill. This gave the text a 3D effect and also made it much more eye-catching thanks to the extra colour.
