Font ResearchSamantha Jones

Front Page FontsI wanted a fonts that really stood out so it would be eye catching. I went on

dafont.com to find these fonts that I would use for my masthead, sell lines etc.

The different fonts are;• A Gothique Time• Arabolical• Faith Collaspsing• Gothical• Gulag Decay• Indoctrine• Kingthings Spike• Moderne_fraktur• Pulse Sans• Romance Fatal Serif• Rueitania

More Front Page FontsEven though there are some good fonts on dafont.com they are too artistic for my

sell lines. I want something eye catching yet simplistic. Some of these fonts are from dafont.com and Microsoft PowerPoint. These are some of the fonts I will choose from for my sell lines:

• Algerian sell lines• Arabolical sell lines SELL LINES• Bauhaus 93 sell lines SELL LINES• Imprint MT Shadow sell lines SELL LINES • Romance Fatal Serif sell lines SELL LINES• Trajan Pro sell lines SELL LINES• Indoctrine sell lines Sell Lines• Vermin Vibes eX sell lines SELL LINES

All of these fonts would look good for my sell lines as they stand out but they are still simplistic. They will grab a readers attention but they won’t be over emphasised. This is what I want for my music magazine.

MastheadI picked these fonts to possibly be the font for the masthead because they are all

unusual and stand out. This is what I would like for my music magazine. Rebel RecordsRebel RecordsRebel Records

I think they look better in white with a black back ground as it stands out more but I’m not sure if the rest of my magazine will look good with a black background. I wanted the different colours on the masthead as it shows the magazine represents a variety of different genres of music. I think I will go with the top font as it is bold, eye catching, and really represents the contents of the magazine.

Sell Lines A music magazine would have a number of sells lines. A main one that is the first

one a reader would notice and then smaller ones so the reader can have a glimpse of what is in the magazine without having to open it. I will probably have a different font for my main sell line compared to my smaller ones. These are some of the fonts I would pick for my main sell line which will be ‘Bring back Girl Power’:

Bringing Back Girl PowerBringing Back Girl Power Bringing Back Girl PowerBringing Back Girl Power! Bringin’ Back GirL Power

Depending on what colour the sell line will be on, the colour of the sell line might not be black. For the look of the magazine I am imagining, I really like the font at the bottom because it is bold, gives a hint on what the style of music is behind this sell line and it is simple and fits in with theme of the magazine.

Smaller Sell LinesThese are a few of the fonts that are from dafont.com and Microsoft

PowerPoint that I would like for my smaller sell lines:

Concert of the Year!Concert of the Year!Concert of the Year!Concert of the Year!

I like the top font as it would fit really well with the genre of music the article is about. The bottom one would do really well for the little sell lines that are also on the front of a magazine. Again it depends on the back ground whether these fonts will stay in the colour black. I could also put a border of colour around the letters.
