Fonts

Here are a selection of different fonts which could be suitable for my magazine. As my magazine is for dance and dubstep style music it will need to be quite noticeable and in your face. I would look to use fonts which are bubbly and curvy and not ones which are sharp and ragged which you would find in more heavy metal and contrasting magazine styles to mine such as Kerrang. I am going to use dafont.com to look at different fonts and select one which is suitable for my magazine and that i will find effective. I am going to look at different fonts for my Masthead Contents page and double page spread. I am going to look into fonts which relate to the story so for example if i was to find an image for a story called the heats on i could look for a font which represents fire or flames.

Potential  Fonts

This font could be relevant for my front cover as it meets my specification of being curved and not jagged, so is related to my genre of being dubstep and dance music as it is easy to read as well as being easy on the eye.This font has quite a retro look about it and looks quite cool and i would associate it with quite dancey and bouncy music. So it would be a relevant font for my magazine.

This font would be relevant for my story about the heat being on which is featured on my contents page, it is relevant because the text is fire like which is what the story is going to be about so it is relevant to the genre of the story as well as adding an original and specific feel to the storyline making it stand out from the other stories within the contents page. Also this font would reflect the coolness that the magazine is trying to represent and would be memorable to the readers so it would have a positive effect.

This would also be a relevant font for my magazine as it is quite a cool looking font which you would associate with dnace style music and the type of font you would associate with dance albums such as clubland. Although the genre i am looking to emulate isn't quite the clubland style i feel that this font would also be relevant as it is original and would stand out and be recogniseable. Also this style of font represents dance and my music also has a foot in the dance genre so it is relevant.

This Font is quite simple and easy to read and understand which also part of the criteria of my magazine as i want it to be easy for the readers to read and understand and these are the nice simple rounded letter i wanted my magazine to have. As it gives off a connotation of it being a laid back and fun magazine to read is what i want the readers to think. This is also the type of font i am looking for in my magazine as it would also fit in well with my genre as it isnt sharp edged and it is just rounded and fun reflecteting the dubstep and dance style of music i am going for.
