New masthead design

This is my final masthead design for my newspaper. I have decided to make it look like this because it uses strong bold colours which will attract my young male audience. I changed it from my old design as i felt it was not appealing to my target audience, this was because the colours used where light blues and whites which i believe to be more feminine rather than masculine. The font i have used for my masthead is a download font from the internet, i have chosen to use this font as it gives a young appeal to it and it is similar to the graffiti type of fonts seen by young people every day. The effects i have used on this masthead is the deep bold colours such as the red and black but i then contrast this with a white part to it which i believe makes the paper stand out as it show what the paper is about, i also added the date going down the side as i think this looks good and will tell the reader if the paper is new or old straight away.
