FONTS

In the magazine it is important for the font to not only fit the genre of the magazine but also to look professional and make a good first impression to the reader, for example, hard to read informal font would not suit a magazine because it would be uncomfortable for the audience to read and interoperate.

I have come up with a selection of fonts, which I believe could be ideal for my magazine. The fonts for both mastheads and cover lines + straplines are clear easy to read fonts. I want the font to be simplistic and conventional. For my masthead I want the font to be clear, bold and eye catchy. This is because the font is the first thing the reader looks at, along with the image on the cover, when considering buying, therefore because of this the font needs to be good enough to lure the customer in.

For straplines, cover lines and basic text I want the photo to have a formal feel towards it which will create atmosphere for the magazine and make it a more enjoyable read, a font I do like is Tahoma, this is because it is simplistic and easy to read, along with this it also looks professional.

The contents page should include conventional simplistic font, this is because it is the main page readers will continuously flick back to in order to find a different article to read. If the font is difficult to read it will be a massive off put for the reader. In addition the double page spread should have an easy read font. A typewriter font would be a suitable choice because it is commonly seen in newspapers and magazines, therefore it would appear conventional plus comfortable.
