Front cover fonts

There is a wide variety of fonts available for me to use as my masthead, but I have to take in to consideration which will most be suitable for my Magazine as I have chosen the theme of Christmas therefore I feel it is important to link all my aspects of my magazine to my chosen    theme. My font needs to look professional and realistic. I also need to chose my font carefully  as it can affect what informal/ formal to magazine appears to the reader.

4 types of fonts
For my school magazine, my chosen font is Copper Black. I felt this was smart to reflect on the how out view of the school grounds however still informal as I had to be conscious hat it wasn't to formal as I have to remember that my target audience is students, therefore I don’t want to make it to formal and factual as it wont appeal to them. Also the font isn't to powerful that it will take the focus point away from the main image.

Showcard Gothic

I felt that the “Showcard Gothic” font was to over powering for the magazine masthead. The font bold and strong no in keeping with the theme “Christmas” which a holiday which is usually associated with he emotions of joyfulness.

Lucdia Handwriting 

This Font is very elegant and professional and I felt that it was too formal for the specific target audience. The font is very soft and gentle and I would have liked my masthead to being slightly bolder and friendly that it was engage the audiences and link to the Magazines main theme.
