Existing Magazine Mast Heads

I have researched existing magazine mast heads and specifically looking at the 'indie rock' genre of music magazine. From my research I have developed an idea for my own mast head look; most of the music magazine mast heads (as seen above) use block capitals and are either red, black, or white. These colours stand out on any background and I myself will be using one of these colours so my mast head is not lost in the surroundings. The mast head is shot and snappy so it doesn't look like a poster with a mast head completely across the top of the magazine. 

From the research I now have an understanding of what will look best on my magazine and what appeals to my target audience.
