These are my masthead design ideas for my front cover. The first one is my chosen font with half a vinyl record on top of it. My second one is my chosen font with an arrow underneath it. These fit the indie style, attracting my target readership. I particularly like the vinyl record so I will be using that as my masthead, also incorporating it into my house style.
