Font and colour research

          Font and colour research

Example font

Masthead - I have decided to use a font called reisenberg to feature on the main cover, contents and double page spread pages as the main title. I have chosen this font because its a bold font that sticks at well and therefore, can be easily noticeable. This means that people will be able to recognize the genre of the music magazine as well as the name "AMPED" can be easily associated with rock music.  

Cover lines - For my cover lines, I have decided to use a font called Marcelle Script. I have used this font as my cover lines for my main cover, contents and double page spread, as the font has a messy style to it, as if it has been handwritten. This means that the the magazine looks more wacky and fun, which would appeal to the rock genre. I want to use the colour black throughout my texts, as it conforms to the genre of Rock N Roll, due to the rebellious connotations the colour has. This could appeal to the tribe wired audience or fun/atics, as part of the life matrix segment, as they are free spirited, and seek adventure and creativeness.

Cover lines - I have also used a different font on some of my cover lines to mix up the look of the magazine and together a more unique feel. I have used the font Marker felt, which features only in the contents and the double page spread. I have used this font to create a more diverse magazine, but to also appeal to rock fans as it gives off a artistic/messy style of writing.
