The document discusses selecting a font style for the masthead of a magazine focused on house music. Several font styles are considered and evaluated based on how well they represent the rebellious personality and clubbing lifestyle of the target audience for house music. Ultimately, a script font is selected for the masthead because it appeals to upper-class house music listeners and can be contrasted with a block font to represent different socioeconomic classes within the audience.
This part of the planning includes the mood board (colour scheme, mast head designs, flashes, camera shots, mode of address and images used). It also includes the flat plan of my magazine.
1. Font styles Here are the fonts that i have researched for my front cover fonts for my mast head. i was looking for a font which screams house music and therefore represents the style of my audience.
2. I like this font and i think that it represents the rebellious side of house music listeners, however i do not think that it is a font for a mast head, i think that i am going to use this for my main sell line of my front page instead.
3. I really like this font and i am going to use this font for my mast head. i like this font because it really shows the house music in a good way and represents the style and edge of my target audience.
4. I like this font because i think that this is a typical font which is used for house music as it is the font used by the main Cd's 'CLUBLAND', i am not going to use this font because i think it is therefore too common.
5. I like this font because i think that the striped effect of the across the writing as it is representing the neon lights which are usually associated with house music listeners, however i think that the style of writing ( the block letters) are to square for my magazine.
6. I think that this /font is the font that i am going to use in my magazine because it is a effect match for my genre of music, house. and it therefore represents the personality of house music listeners, it shows their rebellious and clubbing side of their personality. Also i think that this font represents the space like theme, as it is suggesting that this font is different to others, much like house music listeners.
7. I think that this font is the font that i am going to use in my magazine because it is a effect match for my genre of music, house. and it therefore represents the personality of house music listeners, it shows their rebellious and clubbing side of their personality. i am going to use this for my main sell line on my front cover.
8. I like this font and i like that is a good representation of house music, however i think that the 'edginess' of this style of font leans more to representing indie genre of music rather than a house genre of music.
9. I think that this /font is the font that i am going to use in my magazine because it is a effect match for my genre of music, house. and it therefore represents the personality of house music listeners, it shows their rebellious and clubbing side of their personality. Also i think that this font represents the space like theme, as it is suggesting that this font is different to others, much like house music listeners.
10. I like this font and think that it is very stylish and would look appropriate in a magazine however i think that it would more appropriate in a fashion magazine than a music magazine because it is looks rather space like.
11. I think that this style is the most appropriate out of them all, because i think that it represents my magazine and the house style the best also it reinforces the personality and the representation of house music listeners. Also I think that this font is very appropriate to my magazine and i would be happy to use this in my magazine, however it is not the font that i was looking for on my DPS, i was looking for script writing to appeal to the upper-class and then contrast this with a block font to appeal to middle/lower class; i think this font is more aimed at a mast head rather than a DP.
12. Ilike this font and i think that it would represent the genre of house music very well however i think that the style is tedious and therefore does not represent the personality of house music listeners as they are not tedious.
13. I like this font i am going to use this font for my contents page i think that it represents the genre very well and also shows a good representation of the personality of house music listeners.
14. I like this font and i think that it would look good in a magazine however i think that it would not be suited for my magazine because it is too plain and too simple.
15. I like this font as it is a style of script writing that i was looking for however i think that this font looks to fairytale for my magazine, this font reminds me of a story in a children's book rather than a house music magazine.
16. I like this font because i think that it will appeal to the my audience and show the higher class of house music listeners; however i think that this front is too box like i was looking for a font that it is more 'floaty'.
17. I like this font as it would match the style that i was looking for in my magazine; however i think that there are more appropriate styles of fonts.
18. I think that this font will be really beneficial on my double page spread because it shows the upper-class side of house music listeners and the contrast of this front with the block font will show both classes of the listeners.
