Text and Fonts
In my magazine I will need to use a series of differnet font styles. These can be used as a representation of my magazines genre and an example of the style of language that is used in the text and writing.
When researching magazines I discovered that a series of different texts and font styles are used. Some are similar to those on Microsoft but some are completely different and oringinal. The font samples below are a selection from research of font samples on the internet. Some cost money to buy and download for use.
Most of the samples below are from the website http://www.fonts.com/ and are taken from the example and sample part of the formatting.
Font Sample #1
This style is messy and has grunge connotations. This style would be good to use in my magazine as it is similar to Kerrang!, and other rock genre magazines.
Font Sample #2
This style is similar to the text above but is slightly messier. This could mean that the text may be unclear if used in my magazine.
Font Sample #3
The font style takes too much room compared to the actual text. The style looks inky and could be iconic for my magazine. The exclamation mark is also clearer so would be good for a masthead or headline.
Font Sample #4
This style looks more related to the metal music genre but may be good to use as a headline or subheadline.
Font Sample #5
This style is more static looking and could be associated with electric guitars. The text is too thin to be used as the masthead but can be used for other text in my magazine.
