Masthead Research

Findings of Research:

What I have found from my research is that the masthead has to be simple with limited colours that does not distract the the reader, the font that is mainly used in mastheads are old fashioned fonts such as Old Times Roman and bodoni, the colours I should use must be plain simple colours such as blue,red as examples. other colours are less used as they do not appeal to the audience and distract the viewer. a mascot or image above, below or next to the masthead is optional but it must relate to the newspaper name or purpose so it does not look out of place.
