Masthead Font Styles

Masthead Font Styles

Font Name: DeathRattle BB

This is one of the fonts that I like. This is a possible font that I could use in my music magazine front cover. This is because it is a basic design, but it still looks professional. However the letters aren't very spaced out so I may struggle to use this.

The denotation of the font style chosen for my magazine title is DeathRattle BB. I chose this because I feel it stands out and will attract the attention of my target audience. This font style has been inspired by ‘Glam Rock’ magazine, which is a popular music magazine. Due to the violent and angry font style most stereotypical readers will be attracted to the magazine, as it connotes that it is a Rock magazine.

I have decided to go with the font ‘Plane Crash’. I have chosen this font because it is very bold which will draw people to the magazine which will broaden the potential buyers. After giving out my questionnaire I have discovered that most people are most attracted to a colourless colour scheme, therefore I am going to make sure all font is black or white to fit in with my simplistic colourless theme. This font also connotes a professional magazine so they will be entitled to buy it. This font is also similar to the font that Kerrang! magazine uses for their masthead, and as this is my magazine of inspiration I am going for fonts that are remotely similar to it.
