MastHead Ideas

Here are the options for my MastHead font type. I have chosen simple, bold, easy to read font types, that can be read from a distance.

All the fonts above are from the website www.dafont.com

The first font, is very bold and easy to read. The font is all is uppercase, which makes the font appeal to the reader as it may appear more interesting, and make the magazine look realistic, and official. Most of my class mates agreed that this font in the easiest to read, and can be read from a distance. The first font connotes a sense of power and authority, as it is in uppercase. It is also very thick and bold. The font attracts both male and females, which portrays that the magazine is aimed at both sexes.

The second font, is similar to the first however it is mostly in lowercase, and this appears less powerful than the first. I feel that this font is not very eye catching, and it may be suitable to use for a sell line font, and other small contexts in the magazine,

The third font is different to the first two, as it not as bold, and the width of the letters changes from thick to thin. This might not work well as a masthead, as the audience may not be able to read the masthead from a distance.

I have decided that I might use the first font as the masthead, and i might use the second font for the sell lines and other smaller texts on the front cover and contents pages. This will make the magazine more interesting to look at and to read. The magazine will be more interesting to readers.

I am still unsure on what sort of colour i am going to use for my magazine just yet. I will be experimenting with the colours on photoshop, still sticking to my original colour scheme.
