A conclusion on what fonts and layout I will be using and justification and examples for why I am using these fonts and layouts.

1. Fonts and Logo
Designs

2. Fonts
Idsall Scholar
I will be using this font “Trajan Pro” because its appearance is very formal as the design of the font seems to
be a traditional font that could have been used for many decades in newspapers in the past. This why I want
to use this font, its appearance to me and others signals news and information rather than gossip and other
things that are not generally considered academic. The academic style font comes from the fact the font is
very rigid and does not flow and curve like other fonts that are generally used to convey that the magazine is
for music or creativity. As the magazine is for a school and aimed at academic students who want to read
massive texts of information, this style would be perfect for the magazine because it will convey the message
that the magazine has information and more important news inside.

This font is also good for a school magazine as again the fonts appearance to be very formal and represent
information and academic news but also with an entertaining flare to it. The font seems very fluent as the
letters seem to flow on the screen but yet still have an informative appearance that represents information
rather gossip information. I won’t be using this font though however as I feel the font seems to be to
creative, hinting at gossip and entertainment news rather than academic articles with long articles of writing
rather than plenty of images and colours to engage the reader.

3. Logo
The Idsall voice’s logo is a perfect example of what I am NOT doing to do as the
logo is too plain and simple which does not entertain or engage the reader and
therefore the reader will not feel compelled to read the magazine.

This logo is far better as the font is not some boring font that will bore the reader
and the underline design is perfect for it conveys that academic feel about the
logo and emphasises that the magazine is about academia rather than other
news. To make the title even more appealing to the audience, in the future gold
may be added to the underlining object in sections of the middle and between
the bars to make the logo far more engaging and appealing to the reader as we
do want the reader to be entertained in some degree.

4. Layout (What Not To Do)
This layout is very poor in my opinion because the logo and master
head aren’t in the first third of the magazine and the first thing you
would see is the main image as it catches the ye. This isn’t a good
place to place the main image as it is in the bottom corner, which does
follow the first third rule but there is sub heading standing out to
immediately tell me what the image is about. In addition, the
information on the front cover is tremors, this is highly likely to deter
someone from reading the magazine as large amounts of text and
information is pushed at them. Overall, this layout is poor because it
forces the reader away more than in which is clearly not what a
magazine cover should do.

5. Logo (Design)
This is my design for my layout for the “Idsall Scholar”
which I have gotten inspiration for from many
magazines as I have analysed three magazines which
have give me a good insight into what I should be
doing. The three sub headings will follow the first third
rule and be an easy way to highlight the most
interesting stories and the text about the contents will
be useful to highlight the minor stories that have
happened with a sub image to engage the reader. The
main image is large because it has the purpose of
engaging the reader and by analysing other magazines,
I found that larger images are far more entertaining if it
is of good quality. Overall, I think the design will engage
the reader with snippets of information and large
images rather than launching information at their face
like how Idsall Voice does which just deters students
from reading.
