Name and Masthead

I have decided to name my music magazine GQ-M (Gentleman’s Quarterly Music Edition). GQ is an existing magazine, but this will be a separate magazine solely dedicated to music but will still be part of the GQ brand. I can make a similar masthead and then edit it to have music on the end. I can also follow the conventions of the magazine and use them for my own : (masthead either behind or in front of image, star at top right, Box to the middle right).

Today I made my 1st attempt at a masthead. I did this on Photoshop using layers and selection tools. This is how I made the letters g,q + m slightly overlap each other the same way the GQ masthead does.
