Hannah Hughes is evaluating different font styles to use for the masthead of her music magazine. She considers fonts like DeathRattle BB, Rock's Death, Shut'Em Down, Script MT Bold, and Plane Crash. She ultimately selects Plane Crash because it is bold and will draw attention, matching her target audience's preferences based on her research. The font also conveys a professional look and is similar to the style used by Kerrang!, her source of inspiration for the magazine.

Masthead Font Styles

2. Masthead Font Styles
Font Name: DeathRattle BB
This is one of the fonts that I like. This is a possible font that I could use in my music
magazine front cover. This is because it is a basic design, but it still looks professional.
However the letters aren't very spaced out so I may struggle to use this.
The denotation of the font style chosen for my magazine title is DeathRattle BB. I
chose this because I feel it stands out and will attract the attention of my target
audience. This font style has been inspired by ‘Glam Rock’ magazine, which is a
popular music magazine. Due to the violent and angry font style most stereotypical
readers will be attracted to the magazine, as it connotes that it is a Rock magazine.

magazine front cover. This is because it is a basic design, but it still looks professional.

letters may be difficult to edit due to the cuts and scraps in the letters.

7. I have decided to go with the font ‘Plane Crash’. I have chosen this font because it
is very bold which will draw people to the magazine which will broaden the
potential buyers. After giving out my questionnaire I have discovered that most
people are most attracted to a colourless colour scheme, therefore I am going to
make sure all font is black or white to fit in with my simplistic colourless theme.
This font also connotes a professional magazine so they will be entitled to buy it.
This font is also similar to the font that Kerrang! magazine uses for their masthead,
and as this is my magazine of inspiration I am going for fonts that are remotely
similar to it.
