Fonts

I've chosen certain fonts as they are relevant to the genre of my magazine. On the front page I used a big bold double lined font as it immediately grabs attention and gives the name of the magazine importance. It also gives the magazine a stylish and slick look which my target audience would love! I used the font 'market felt' for the subtitles on the front page as it looks similar to graffiti which gives it an urban feel.

On my contents, I used two different fonts as I wanted it to have more of a welcoming feel to it but still make it urban. To do this, I used a font called 'Silom' which makes the writing fun and attractive to read without taking away the urban feel to it. The other font I used in my contents is callled 'Plane Crash'. I downloaded this one from a website called 'da font' http://www.dafont.com/. I did this as it has a fantastic look to it which immediately attracts the audience into reading it and it gives off a huge urban look to the whole page. On the double page spread, I stuck to the same fonts as I used on the contents due to the fact that too many fonts can confuse or put the audience off reading the rest of the magazine.
