Music magazine masthead font research

The type of fonts that I use on my magazine are very important as it represents what kind of magazine it is so when deciding what font to use I will have to think about what message it sends out to the reader and what type of reader it attracts.

 

 

 

I liked the marble pattern that is on the letters as it gives it a interesting, fun and edgy feel but I think that the shaping of the letters are too rounded and don't suit the theme of the magazine. 

 

I found this font very interesting as it is different to the other ones I have looked at. Its scruffy style would suit my magazine and would let the reader know what type of magazine it is, however I think the writing is too thin to be used on the front cover as It isn't eye catching enough.

 

I really like this font because the paint splattered effect on the lettering makes it appear edgy and different, I also like the shaping of the letters because they are thick and as it is in capitals it will be very eye catching and perfect for the front cover of my magazine.

 

I like this font because it is eye catching and its rough edges makes it suit the theme of my magazine, however I think that it is a bit too uniformed and regimented for a music magazine.

 

 

Overall I think that my favourite font is "Kill Em All" as it is visually pleasing, eye catching and it suits the genre of my magazine. Another reason why I like this font is that it reminds me of the KERRANG master head which is also a rock themed magazine.
