Font Types

Thursday, November 06, 2014

I have used the website 'PicMonkey' to look at fonts for my mast head. I have used a variation of font's to see what works best; I have also used the colours black and red as they fit well with my research I did on other existing magazine mast heads, as I haven't come to a conclusion on which magazine name I will be choosing I used the magazine name ideas to help me represent the fonts.


I used the font type 'SMASH' when creating this mast head, I applied an extra layer of the word '34 years' to make the mast head look 3D. I like the look of this mast head and it looks effective. 

 I used the font type 'impact' it's simple and puts the mast head clearly on any page. It is similar to NME's font type for their mast head. 
This font is 'POETSEN ONE' it is simple but is like a bubble writing effect, it gives a different take on block text and would stand out on my magazine page. 

The font type is called 'EDO' it gives a paint brush type of effect and it gives the mast head a different twist. This element allows me to keep my mast head simple but still look pleasing to my target audience.
This font type is similar to kerrang logo; I like the look of this font and it would reach out to my target audience who are young adults this font type is called 'DOWNCOME'.

I like this font it is called 'ULTRA' it is simple but yet is different from the bog standard block text. I think it would sit well on my magazine.
 I like the individuality of this font type; it looks aesthetically pleasing to the eye and also is clear when representing the mast head. This is a option for my final mast head font. The font is called 'BLACKSPACER'
Again this font is very simple and is called 'CHELSEA MARKET' it is clear to the audience what my magazine is called and isn't over the top.


Looking at different fonts I have chosen to use either 'BACKSPACER' 'DOWNCOME' or 'ULTRA' I believe these fonts will give a different take on my mast head logo and fit well with my music genre of Indie Rock. They also fit in similarly with other indie rock music magazine and think these font types will make my stand out from the rest.
I am going to choose the font 'DOWNCOME' as it's different and will fit well with my indie rock genre. I will also be using the name 'Phoenix' as my magazine name as it's unique and different.
