Masthead Analysis

In Ebony magazines, creators use white bold letters with a red solid fill background that attracts their audience. Sometimes the model may be in front of the masthead and sometimes behind it but, since it's big and bold  the masthead is always spotlighted on the cover page. 

In Essence magazines, it is similar to Ebony’s. However, Essence magazines are known for their color scheme. Unlike many other magazines such as Ebony, their masthead is different. It may include the same font but the color depends on the cover page color scheme. At times, the masthead will be behind the models . 

 

The “Black Enterprise'' magazine, have big letters similar to a country font. Most of their mastheads are white or black. However, it depends on the background of their main image as well.
