Font chosen for my magazine

I had several fonts in mind for the front cover of my magazine. I decided that I would conduct some research on the fonts of the magazine. I put all of the fonts on one page and asked my target audience which font they preferred.

After conducting this research I can see that the target audience prefer the graffiti font due to 7 votes compared to the other fonts only getting a maximum of 2 votes. so this is the font that I will use on my front cover.

I have also decided to use a sans serif font for the smaller text as I feel this is a lot easier to read and I also feel that the sans serif font written entirely in CAPS LOCK will create the harsh and solid effect needed to fit in with the genre of R&B.

I am also going to use some other different fonts that are available off of http://www.dafont.com/ for the contents page and the double page spread. I have decided not to copy the the same font from the front cover as I feel this will take away from the effect created on the front cover.

I have decided to use either 'urban slick' or 'vinyl stickons' for the contents page. I fell that either of these will create the desired effect when enlarged and a different colour is added. I feel that the arrows may be less successful however I would like to try them out as it may look better when the rest of the page is added to it. I think that the second font is a good font to use however a glow could be added to give the font it's colour.

Urban slick

Vinyl stickons

I feel as though the double page spread should have a graffiti font as I feel that this exemplifies the urban feel of this magazine. I would like it to be a graffiti but to have more of a handwritten feel to it as it will be like to artist has written it themselves.

I would need to fill in the gaps in the 's' and 'z' but this can be easily done in photoshop. I will also change the colour to make it fit in better with the rest of the page.

I am happy with the fonts that I have chosen as I feel they firstly fit in with the genre well as they link with the ideas of hip hop and the urban culture, but I also feel that they are all memorable so the magazine will stand out.
