Typography Moodboard

I've done a mood board of magazine titles, from this, I will later be able to design my masthead influenced by these. Most are bold in red or black as both colours are used to stand out amongst the rest of the page. The majority are also in sans-serif making it more accessible to a larger audience while appearing more youthful, beneficial when targeting a teenage audience. However, Rolling Stone stands out as despite being less classical music aimed it has a serif font, much like BBC music, Downbeat and Mix. This implies that it is a professional brand more aimed towards a mature audience. Meanwhile, kerrang connotes to it being a rock or alternative magazine as it has a smashed design, provoking ideas of it going against the mould and doing its own thing. A few of the magazine mastheads are also in all-caps, implying importance, and attracting the potential reader's eye, as it 'shouts' across the page. Meanwhile, magazines such as Billboard, who doesn't use all-caps appears to stand out amongst the other titles.
