Research & Planning - Masthead Designs

These are my masthead designs that could I could possibly use for the masthead of my magazine. The name of my magazine is 'Indy Pop' and that is what my mastheads are called. 

I like the first one because I like how I decided to space out the laters. I have used quite a simple font because I feel that the magazine would look more sophisticated with a simple title as it is aimed at middle class teenagers to young adults. 

I like the font of the second masthead because I feel it suits the pop genre but, I feel that the font looks to squashed together. I quite like the black font because I think it was stand out on a light background. 

I like the font on the third masthead because I think it is clear and the font will stand out on a background. I'm not really sure on the colour of the masthead as it will be hard to match up with other colours to suit the genre of my magazine.

I am very unsure of the last masthead as I feel it doesn't suit either of my genres (indie or pop). I like the colour of the masthead but I don't think that the masthead in general will match its full need.
