We decided to incorporate a banknote bill with the design. The bill need not be a regular bill, therefore we decided to stylise it using arrows to denote the flowing concept of money (this concept frankly, worked out incredible.) The only place we could do that was on top of the “ro” letter. We also had a coin in mind, but felt that a coin would not have worked as good as the note worked. That the note was finalised, we tried a real banknote (see below) which looked funny, and we realised the possible problem a low-resolution photograph of a banknote could create. That led us to agree that the note should be a vector shape and not a photograph of the note. We tried two variations of the note, out of which we agreed upon the one that contained a mountain in it (real banknotes have mountain on them too.) The possible colours we zeroed down upon were purple, orange and red. Purple, because no publication had used it before, orange for elegance and red for powerfulness. Finally, we decided a brownish tint of red for the masthead colour.
Next was the typography. I certainly did not want to use any known typeface for the design. This led me to create an entirely new type for the masthead design. I set out to breakdown the Franklin Gothic Demi Bold font for the typeface. See the breakdown process below:
Here are other masthead designs that did not quite make it:

Many thanks to editor Prateek dai, Vijayababu dai and dear friend Ankur who made the design process possible. Thanks to all!





यदि कसैले तपाँईसंग नराम्रो व्यवहार गर्छ भने उसलाई त्यस्तो नगर भन्नुहोस् । तर नमानेर त्यस्तै व्यवहार गरिरह्यो भने उसलाई आफ्नो फेसबुक मित्रहरूको सूचीबाट हटाईदिनुहोस् । यदि तपाँईलाई उक्त व्यक्तिले दुर्व्यवहार गरेको जस्तो लागेभने फेसबुकका अधिकारीहरूलाई त्यस व्यक्तिको बारेमा“रिपोर्ट” गरेर जानकारी दिनुहोस् ।
यदि कुनै व्यक्तिका एक्टीभिटी वा क्वीज तपाँई आफ्नो फेसबुक होमपेजबाट हटाउन चाहनुहुन्छ भने उक्त एक्टीभिटीको दाहिनेतिरको “हाईड” थिचेर व्यक्ति वा एप्लीकेशन के हटाउने हो हटाउन सक्नुहुन्छ । फेरि देखाउन चाहनुहुन्छ भने एक्टीभिटी फिडको अन्त्यमा गएर दाहिने तिर रहेको “एडिट अप्शनस्”बाट के के राख्ने हटाउने तय गर्नुहोस् ।
कसैकोपनि बारेमा केहीपनि भन्न नहुने वा लेख्न नहुने कुरा नलेख्नुहोस् । तपाँई र उक्त व्यक्ति फेसबुक मित्र नभएपनि अरू मित्रको माध्यमबाट त्यो कुरा उक्त व्यक्तिसम्म पुग्न सक्ने सम्भावना हुन्छ । हेर्दा एउटा कोठामा एक्लै बसेर लेखेकोजस्तो लागेपनि त्यो कुरा संसारभरिका जुनसुकै व्यक्तिले जहाँसुकैबाटपनि पढ्न सक्छन । होसियारी अपनाउनुहोस् ।
