5. Fonts

For my magazine I obtained all of my font off of www.dafont.com. The reason I used this website is becuase it offers thousands of different font that are more proffesional looking then the standard fonts on adobe indesign.

Font 1



I have chosen this font as I feel that it is very relevant to my magazine. It is bold and black, and also looks faded and worn. The fact that it in't a perfect font connotes how my target audeince arn't perfect citizens, and how they like to lead extrmem lifestyles. Otehr magazines from similar genres also use fonts like this, eg Kerrang.


Font 2



I think that this font is well suites to my magazine and target audience as it has a graffiti effect to it. Graffiti is seen as art among the rock audeince and therefore this font connotes that the magazine sees graffiti as art too, agreeing with the audeince. Again, kerrang also use a graffiti like font for thier motto.



Font 3



I also feel that this is a good font becuase it has the effect of messy, splattered paint. This connotes the "careless" attitude that many of my target audeince will have, not caring if they look a bit scruffy or their room/house is a bit untidy. I think that this font also has the look of worn leather which is highly fashionable among my target audeince. This will mean that the audeince see the magazine as a modern and "trendy" magazine.


Font 4



I chose this font specifically to be the title of my double page spread article. The reason for this is becuase it is a serif font, and therefore has resembelance of the old newspaper headings which makes it really well suited to the heading of the articles on "black news". NME uses a similar serif font for thier double page spread news article.



Font 5



This is a font that I considered using within my magazine, but due to my own reasons and feedback from others I decided not to. One reason why I thought that this font wasnt appropriate for my magazine is becuase I felt that it looked outdated and resembled rock music from a few decades ago. This is no good as my magazine is a contempary rock magazine that is for a modern young audeince. Also i noticed that magazines from similar genres such as Kerrang and NME dont use any fonts that resemble this one.
Other feedback about this font that I recieved meant that i decided not to use it.

Feedback: Letters not clearly defined, looks old, serif font isnt modern, doesnt suit genre of magazine.
