2. Font itself is important when it comes to displaying
information for people to read, in order to catch
their attention. Different people may have
different fonts connected to them, for example:
people who like Rock and Roll. And people who
like Broadway Musicals.
With my magazine I have to consider the style of
music I am going to portray which is indie music
which can vary in styles of sound and try to fit
that with the font that would best suit it.

4. I wanted a fonts that really stood out so it
would be eye catching. I went on dafont.com
to find these fonts that I would use for my
masthead, sell lines etc.
The different fonts are called;
Arial Black
Batang
Last years youth
Miriam
Verdana
Haettenschweile
Kaiti
Red snapper
Dsnet Stamped
Ali
Post news
5. Even though there are some good fonts on dafont.com they are too
artistic for my sell lines. I want something eye catching yet simplistic.
Some of these fonts are from dafont.com and Microsoft PowerPoint.
These are some of the fonts I will choose from for my sell lines:
Algerian sell lines
Last years youth sell lines SELL LINES
Bauhaus 93 sell lines SELL LINES
Imprint MT Shadow sell lines SELL LINES
Romance Fatal Serif sell lines SELL LINES
Dsnet title TITLE
Vermin Vibes eX sell lines SELL LINES
All of these fonts would look good for my sell lines as they stand out but
they are still simplistic. They will grab a readers attention but they
won’t be over emphasised. This is what I want for my music magazine.
6. I picked these fonts to possibly be the font for the masthead because they
are all unusual and stand out. This is what I would like for my music
magazine.
I think they look better in with red with a black or dark background as it
stands out more but I’m not sure if the rest of my magazine will look
good with a black background. I wanted a bright colour on the masthead
as it shows the magazine is not boring because if I where to stick to dull
colours such as white black or grey it wouldn’t drag the audience. I think
I will go with the top font as it is bold, eye catching, and really represents
the contents of the magazine.

This one looks the best the colour suites the magazine
I'm look I'm going for for and making the text bold and
adding shadowing creates a more 3d look. I think the
bold but simple makes it more effective because it is
similar to magazines like vogue or NME.
7. A music magazine would have a number of sells lines. A main one
that is the first one a reader would notice and then smaller ones so
the reader can have a glimpse of what is in the magazine without
having to open it. I will probably have a different font for my main
sell line compared to my smaller ones. These are some of the fonts
I would pick for my main sell line which will be ‘Ellie may on her
sell out tour’:
ELLIE MAY ON HER SELL OUT TOUR : last years youth
ELLIE MAY ON HER SELL OUT TOUR: adventurer black
ELLIE MAY ON HER SELL OUT TOUR : bolts sf
ELLIE MAY ON HER SELL OUT TOUR : red snapper
Think I will make my sell line white to create contrast to the dark
background I will have and to contrast with the red title. I really
like the font at the top because it is bold, gives a hint on what the
style of music is behind this sell line and it is simple and fits in
with theme of the magazine.
8. These are a few of the fonts that are from dafont.com and Microsoft
PowerPoint that I would like for my smaller sell lines:
Summers top hot hits :last years youth
Summers top hot hits :adventurer black
Summers top hot hits: bolts sf
Summers top hot hits :red snapper
I like the top font as it would fit really well with the genre of music
the article is about and even though it’s the same as the other
sell line it will be written in smaller font allowing it not to be the
main pull . The bottom one would do really well for the little sell
lines that are also on the front of a magazine as well . Again it
depends on the back ground whether these fonts will stay in the
colour black. I could also put a border of colour around the
letters allowing them to stand out.
