The document discusses font choices for an R&B magazine masthead and content pages. Three potential masthead fonts are presented: one in varying unique uppercase styles, one in a slanted superhero style, and one in a graffiti style. The author chooses the unique uppercase style font for the masthead and content pages because it is bold, distinctive, and reflects the cool and masculine feel of R&B.

1. For my R&B magazine I want the font to be bold and in uppercase; this way it will stand out to the
audience and reflect their bold personality and masculinity. This will continue on the content page
and double page spread.
My three ideas for presenting the title of my magazine are as follows:
I choose this for its uniqueness. It’s written in bold and the style on each letter is different and
makes it stand out to the audience. It also fits in with the R&B theme and the black and white makes
the magazine look cool, slick and masculine. I will use this font for my masthead for my front cover
and my double page spread.
I choose this font because it looks very trendy and urban; it also fits in with the criteria I have for the
font I want as my masthead. The way the letters are at a slant will make it very distinctive to the
audience, which is what my magazine is hoping to achieve. It looks slightly like a ‘superhero’ style
font; this might suggest that this magazine is like a superhero, here to help and save all the R&B
music fans and inform them about the latest news. However, I have decided not to use this because
it is a little bit too youthful-looking and not bold and attention-grabbing enough.
I choose this font because it’s very different to the other fonts; it has a unique look. It also reflects
the cool feel of the R&B genre. It looks like a graffiti-style font; this could attract the target audience,
as this could be something they think they see as cool and expressive. Even though the letters aren’t
all in uppercase, it still makes a stand and will look very unique and different to the audience who
will read the magazine. This could appear on my front cover, double page spread and contents page.
Nevertheless, I would not use this as it is not as readable as my actual choice; a masthead should be
visible from a distance.

2. I thought of this font for my sell-lines and other writing that’s will be featured on my magazine
because it’s easy to read, it is written in lowercase which might make it stand out to the audience.
Its thickness makes it look trendy, manly and unique.
This font stood out to me because it suits the criteria of the font I want. It’s in capitals and it’s bold
which will make it easier for the fans of the magazine to read. It will match the masthead of the page
and continue the trend throughout the whole magazine.
This font is different to the other to because it’s bold and uppercase, this would give a masculine feel
to the magazine especially when my target audience are males. The font itself is very unique and
distinctive if a fan of the magazine was to see it.
