2. I did some research into which fonts
would be most suitable for my headline
and my subtitles.
I looked on a web site called
www.myfonts.com and found some very
useful fonts.
I finalised my decision to five different
fonts, for the headline, the subtitles and
the main body.
3. Masthead
-This font is very
simple, even
though it is written
in a smooth way,
which connotes the
smooth with what
the artists rap.
-This font is created
to look like street
graffiti, which
connotes the street
like lifestyle and
criminal tendencies
from rappers.
-This font is very
neutral, but has a
kind of artistic
lenience, which
reflects the rap
genre.
I decided to go more the font on the
top right, as it suits the hip-hop and
rap perfectly, and it is a very
noticeable font, which will appeal to
the target audience.
4. Cover Lines
-This font connotes
the elegance and flow
oh Hip-Hop
- This font reflects the
school life, which was very
crucial for many rappers,
and makes it iconic for the
genre.
-The font is also very
elegant, which
connotes the artistic
side of Rap.
I decided that the font on the bottom right is the most suitable, as its is
very bold and attracts the readers attention. The font on the top left,
although being very good at representing flow of hip-Hop, it is too
extreme for my magazine. The font on the top right looks good, and I
like the fact that it resembles handwriting, like rappers who write down
their lyrics, but it is thin and not very noticeable.
5. INTERVIEW THEMES
When I researched different online Interviews with Musicians,
the some topics were always repeated. Some topics for example
were : the musicians background, a recent concert, an album
which will be released soon, a change in the musicians career or
the future of the musicians.
I decided that in my interview I will shortly address each topic,
as I believe addressing a topic for a short time, keeps the reader
interested, as it doesn’t get boring.
Also I can give the reader a lot of information, concerning
different topics through little text.
My interview is mostly going to involve the artists background,
representing his idols as sort of motivating ‘heros’ or ‘helpers’,
through the theory of Propp’s characters. In this case the
interviewed artist would be ‘the princess’.
