Experimenting With Fonts

These are some of the fonts I have looked at and thought suited the style and genre of my magazine. These 6 were my favourite from many different options. It is important that the font suits the genre and reaches the target audience which I believe these 6 do as they are not boring, they look different and cool. Whereas if I was to be doing a rock themed magazine for example, the fonts would be more bold, in your face and messy to suit that genre of music.

My favourite of the 6 which I feel is most suitable for my magazine has to be 'rtBrush' as I think it is stylish but not boring. I have chosen to use the name 'Excusive' for my magazine and I feel that this font looks exclusive.

A second favourite is the 'new facebook' font which I feel is even more exclusive as it is so different to regular fonts however I have opted out of using it in my magazine as I feel it could be perceived as looking childish and also could be fairly difficult to read.

I tested many fonts to be on the front cover but I feel that 'ArtBrush' was the most effective for the genre and target audience and looked the best out of them all.

This is my final font used in the final title for the magazine. I believe it is very effective and is perfect for my magazine.
