These are the fonts i am conisdering for my magazine

1. Fonts

2. Pros: - Looks very rock appropriate
-Bold, would stand out as a masthead
-I like how it looks all destroyed, and is all cracked. I think this fits
very well with the rock genre, as rock music is viewed as violent, and
this font is violent.
Cons: - Lack of characters, no – for example
-Very similar to other rock magazines fonts
- From a film, and is already used in mainstream media. Could be a
problem as its already linked to the film.

3. Pros: - Very bold, it really stands out
-I like how it is distorted, as that links to how most people think rock
music is just distorted noises, therefore it is appropriate for the genre
-Would work for the masthead or artist name
Cons: - May be more appropriate for a dance magazine, or a more
mature magazine, because it doesn’t have the same broken effect
as the other fonts, so may not appeal to a younger audience.
- Very simple, its not completely different and unique.

4. Pros: - Like the creepiness of this font
-Very rock appropriate, had the creepy effect I want as well as the
destroyed feel to it
-Probably would work as the artists name
Cons: - Not very bold, would definitely not work for the masthead
-Doesn’t really work on numbers, like the number 3 as shown above
-Quite small, doesn’t have the same dramatic effect as the others do.

5. Pros: - Very messy, fits into the rock genre as its destroyed and
broken
-Very bold, could work as the masthead
- I like how the font looks hand drawn, as this makes it look even
more unique
Cons: - Maybe a bit childish? This may not fit completely into a
rock magazine and may be more suited for a pop magazine
- Quite hard to read, you really have to look at each word to know
what's being written

6. Pros: - Very genre appropriate. Its messy, but not too childish, and
its broken, which is what you would expect from a rock magazine
-Bold, could work for the masthead
-Also could work for the artists name, as its bold, but not too bold
Cons: - Some letters may be hard to read if the splatter from the
previous one effects the letter.
- Doesn’t work as well on the letters as it does on the actually text.

7. Font 6 -
Pros: - Very bold and stands out
-Rock appropriate, I like how it looks broken and shattered as well
as looking very messy. It links well to rock music
-Would look good as an artists name
Cons: - Lack of characters, for example no numbers or – as seen
above.
- Wouldn’t be good as a masthead because of the blocks around it

8. Pros: - Looks very rock appropriate, its very messy and broken,
which fits the genre. It is also a font I have seen before being linked
to the rock genre.
-Very bold, would look good on an artists name
- Its very unique, which links to the rock genre as rock artists try to
be different in their music
Cons: - The black box around it may mean it can’t be used as the
masthead and its too bulky.
- Like I said before, I’ve seen it used for rock things before, which
means the people who read my magazine may not link the font to
the magazine like you would want them to.

9. Pros: - Rock appropriate, its broken and damaged, which links to
rock music as most people associated broken things with the rock
genre.
-Would be good for an artists name in the double page spread
Cons: - Hard to read
-Too bulky to be the masthead, would take up too much space

10. Pros: - Very bold, would be good for the masthead as it stands out and is
very easy to read
-I like how its not too broken that you can’t read it, however is broken
enough that it fits into the rock genre.
-Very unique, its not like any other font I’ve looked at
Cons: - The line that goes through the words may get cut off because of
how long it is
- Maybe not as aggressive as some of the others

11. Font 10 - 2005
Pros: - Rock appropriate, because it looks a bit broken and is messy.
-Bold, it stands out a lot, and would catch a readers attention
-Would look good as the artists name on the double page spread
Cons: - Sever lack of characters, there are no numbers or symbols that I
needed
- Its a bit bulky and therefore would not look good as the masthead

12. Font 11-
Pros: - Rock appropriate, its very messy
-Very bold, its stands out and would probably be most suited for the artists
name in the double page spread.
Cons: - Lack of characters, there are no numbers or dashes
-Filled in with white, therefore on a busy background, it may not be very
easy to see
-Its a little hard to read, for example the A

13. My Final Decision
 I have decided that, in my opinion the best fonts to use would
be Dirty Ego and Sonic Barrier. Both these fonts are the
clearest, the boldest and most appropriate for the rock genre.
They also both have a large range of characters to help me . I
think I am going to use Dirty Ego as my masthead, and Sonic
Barrier as my artists name inside the magazine as well as the
front cover. Some fonts I may still use if I find I need I need
another one include Crimes Times and Something In The
Way, however these 2 will only be used for headers on my
contents page, or other bits of writing that need to stand out.
