The document discusses fonts used for magazine logos and mastheads. It analyzes fonts used for the Top of the Pops and We Love Pop magazine logos, noting they are sans serif fonts that look youthful, modern, and appropriate for pop magazines. Both logos use all capital lettering to make the mastheads stand out. The document also presents four versions of "Poppin'" as possible ideas for a magazine masthead, featuring bubbly fonts, colors, and hearts appealing to a young female audience.

1. Font Analysis

2. The font used on the Top of the Pops magazine
logo is a sans serif font which makes the font look
quite youthful and modern so is very appropriate
for a pop magazine. It is a also a display font so it
would stand out as the masthead but it is also
quite bubbly writing which gives it quite a feminine
look which would appeal to the young girl target
audience of the magazine. The femininity of the
font is emphasised on the letter ‘s’ at the end as it
is curled at the bottom. The font itself is written in
white text but it is highlighted by a bright pink
which again reflects the gender of the audience.
The font used on the We Love Pop magazine logo is
also a sans serif font. Like the Top of the Pops
logo, the sans serif font makes it look very youthful
and modern. The lettering itself is written in black
which makes it stand out but the word ‘love’ is
replaced with a pink love heart which reflects the
young female target audience. The font of the Top of
the Pops logo and the font used on the We Love Pop
logo are both written in capital lettering. This shows
me that in order for the masthead to stand out on the
front cover, it must be in sans serif capital lettering.

3. These four different versions of the word ‘Poppin’’ are all possible ideas for the masthead on the front cover of my
magazine. With each different one, they are styled so that the font and the arrangement of the masthead would appeal
to the target audience and signal the genre of the magazine. They do this as the fonts used are like bubble writing
which suggests quite a young and girly target audience. Also, the colours used reflects how the magazine will be aimed
at young girls. The love hearts to dot the ‘i’ and to replace the apostrophe will also appeal to the intended target
audience.
