TRANSCRIPT
(Passion Sans Font) I have chosen this font because it is simple and easy to read. It also incorporates a lot of curves which
are associated femininity and my magazine is aimed towards a female
audience.
(Ultima Font) I have chosen this font as a possible font for my cover lines because it is very clear, simple and easy to read. Also similar to passions sans font the letters are very curved which makes them seem very
feminine which is appropriate since my magazine is aimed towards a female
audience.
(Home & Hearth Font) I have chosen this font because it is simple so easy to read but at the same time it is bold so stands out on the page.
(Chinacat Font) This font would be appropriate for my magazine
because it is both simple and easy to read. It is also quite bold so would stand out on the page without looking too dramatic.
(Lovely Eunike Hans Font) This font is not only curved it also looks very relaxed and almost as if it is hand
written. I think this would be appropriate to use in my magazine
because I want teenagers to feel they can easily pick up my magazine . They
should enjoy reading the magazine therefore I don’t want it to look too
formal. That way they can relate to it more. Also although the font is simple it is still bold so would be appropriate for a cover line because it would stand out
well.
(Dock 51) This is my most dramatic possible cover line font. I have chosen this font because
it is bold so stands out but also because it is very modern because of the way the letters
have been cut into sections. I think this would be appropriate for my magazine because my magazine is about pop music which is very
modern genre of music. I also think that because this font is very unique it will catch readers eyes making them more inclined to
read the article.
Potential Cover Line
Fonts
(marcelle) This font is a potential mast head font. I have chosen it because it is
very curved again like others so has connotations of femininity. I also chose it because it is very bold and modern.
Although it comes across as being very feminine it does has an edge to it
because of the way the M is slightly rubbed out . This would be appropriate for my magazine because unlike many pop magazines on the market at the
moment I plan for my magazine to be aimed at a slightly older audience of 16-19 year olds so I don’t want my font to
look too girly and childish.
(urban jungle) I have chosen this font because it looks slightly like an
explosion has just taken place because of the way parts of the letters are
missing. which is appropriate since my magazine is about pop which as a single
word can be associated with an explosion. Also the fact it looks like an explosion has taken place could also
represent the fact the information in the magazine has just exploded so is all new
gossip and information. I have also chosen this font because it is very
unique so is eye catching and it is also very bold which makes it stand out.
(birth of a hero) This font is very modern but simplistic at the same time . It includes
a lot of rounded shapes which I think makes it appropriate for my music magazine because to me they could
represent vinyl's or Cds which we associate a lot with music. I also think this font would be appropriate because it is easy to read so
people will look at my magazine and instantly know what it’s about.
Masthead(forte) This font is both rounded and curved so
has connotations of femininity. It is also bold and easy to read so will attract a lot of attention because people will be
able to read it without any problems and spot it out
of a crowd.
Potential Mast Head &
Body Text Fonts
(Arial rounded MT bold) I have chosen this font because it is a basic font so doesn’t take much
effort to read. Also it is a recognized font so has a
professional finish which will overall make my magazine look
more professional. It is also bold so will stand out easily on
a page with a lot of images.
Body text
(Century Gothic) I have chosen this as a potential
font again because the style is basic so easy to read. I have also chosen it because the letters are
very rounded so will appeal to a female
audience.
Body text
Body text(corbel) I have picked this
font out because it isn’t too bold so could work well on a page that is suppose to be mainly
images because it wouldn’t distract from
them.
These are examples of the types of images that will feature in my magazine. They will all be high quality images taken
in a studio or in a particular set or location. There may also be a few taken
from live concerts and performances.
Colour Schemes – all of my potential colour schemes incorporate
colours such as pink and white to represent the innocent fun associated with pop music and the femininity of my magazine. I have incorporated the colour black into some of the colour schemes because this is a more mature colour so could help show that my magazine is for a slightly older audience
interested in pop music.
