Fonts

In order for my magazine to be successful, it needs to be eye catching. A main factor for this is Font Type.

The font type is essential for a magazine as it enhances the tone of the magazine and portrays a certain theme. From researchng convetions of a magazine I understand that bad font can potentially make people ignore the magazine. This is why i have to make my font looks professional and aesthically pleasing.
 The font has to be easy to read, as the audience have to be able to read the text as it contains information about the magazine. The font size needs to be appropriate and easy to read. If the font size is too small, the audience are unable to read there for no information is passed on to the audience. The smallest font size on a magazine, is usually the date, issue number, and the price, as it is the last thing the audience thinks about when purchasing or reading the magazine.
The Mast head is the biggest font on a magazine, as it is the most significant text, as it tells the audience the name of the magazine, which portrays what the magazine focus point is. For example, my mast head states Chislehurst Times, which portrays that the magazine is a school magazine. My mast head will be the largest font on the front cover to connote its importance and significance. It will be in sans serif as it is easy to read, and simple yet effective.
