The document evaluates four different font options for a magazine masthead: 1) Zwodrei font with a thick, rectangular border that would stand out on any page color 2) Ailerons font with a thinner style that looks cleaner than the first option 3) Manifesto font featuring only uppercase letters without a border that may be too unique and cause confusion 4) Coco Puff font with a medium thickness and border that achieves a balance between options one and two in line with the magazine's style. The document also selects League Spartan for headlines, Droid Serif for body text, and establishes a primary color scheme of black, white, and red.

1. Magazine Stylesheet

2. Masthead
Font: Zwodrei
This masthead design features bold lettering with
a rectangular border. This design is suitable as it
would blend in with nearly any colour and the
border makes it noticeable no matter where it is
on the page. The rectangular border has thinner
vertical lines than horizontal lines, making an
interesting, eye-catching, and unique design.
However the font is possibly too thick, and may
defy the magazine’s lean, light style

3. Masthead
Font: Ailerons
This masthead design is similar in concept to the
first, but with a thinner font and border. This
looks cleaner and more professional than the first
choice and is more compatible with the magazine
style. The slanted letter ending of the fonts gives
it a futuristic look, which could be compatible
with the magazine’s aim of promoting new music,
but it may clash with the magazine’s graphical
style.

4. Masthead
Font: Manifesto
This masthead design is just uppercase text.
Unlike the first two designs, it does not have a
border. While the font itself is eye-catching, it
may be too unique to fit with the magazine’s
style. It also has no sort of border that establishes
it as the logo, which may confuse potential
readers. The letter spacing is also irregular,
though this could be fixed via digital
manipulation.

5. Masthead
Font: Coco Puff
This masthead design a balance between the first
two. The border and font thickness is medium,
enough to fit with the magazine style but not thin
enough to be unnoticeable or hard to see. The
border’s close to the font so no unnecessary
space is taken up, making the design neat and
simple: in line with the magazine style.

6. Headline
Font: League Spartan
This font has a great headline look that would
suit my magazine. It’s a serif font, meaning it’s
suitable for headlines as the block capital letters
are easy to read. The bold style helps it stand out
and catch the reader’s eye. The block letters
ensure an organised look, corresponding with my
magazine style. I will utilize this font on my cover
page and my DPS.

7. Body Font
Font: Droid Serif
This serif font is a great option for use as article
text. The serif style creates a mature, clean look
that would be appropriate for my magazine’s
tone. It’s easy to read and visually fits with the
organised, structured style of my magazine.

8. Colour Scheme
I have chosen three primary colours for the magazine’s colour
scheme. These are black, white, and red. I have chosen black and
white because the smart, clean style of my magazine works well
with no colour. I have selected red to provide variety and colour
so the magazine does not look plain. I may experiment with the
shade of the red to see what shade works best with my design.
The magazine will not be restricted to these colours and shall use
other colours where appropriate, but these three will be the most
dominant colours.
