10 fonts examples with discussion
DESCRIPTION
here is my 10 font examples with discussionTRANSCRIPT
I used Photoshop to help design these ten
examples of font for the masthead of my music
magazine. I have selected some fonts
that would suit the front cover through the
process. I also selected fonts that would not
stand out such as the first font (Arial) doesn’t have that much detail and it looks too perfect with a straight line - this would be most suitable for a newsletter. Font 2 (Broadway) looks too classic as wells as old-fashioned for a music
magazine However, as I developed the fonts, I was making progress
by adding a few adjustments by adding some effects such as
font 3. I used this unusual font called
Reprise Stamp and it really brings out the stamping effect as it
almost looks like something you see on a typical rock magazine
such as Kerrang! Font 4 (Elephant) looks too bold as I can barely make out the words.
In font 5(Copperplate Gothic Bold), I decided to use the Warp Text option
to make this example look more dynamic and not boring just leaving it
straight. Font 6 is the same font and the
reason is that I want to see what it looks like
when it’s not warped. It looks too simple but I
like the way the letters are arranged in a square
shape. Font 7(Courier New) looks like one of those words that are typed using a typing machine. I included a
black rectangular shape to make it stand out but I
feel like this is suitable for the cover lines. It
looks very bold and clear enough to read.
In the last 3 fonts, I experimented with Styles to
add more detail on it. Font 8 (Andre SF) looks so retro
looking and I like the colour theme
for this example but I think this is more appropriate
for a gaming magazine. Furthermore, font 9 looks
very organized- I spaced out the letters in order to
achieve a classy looking masthead. Font 10 (Copperplate Gothic Light)
looks very energetic- I found the one where it has lots of vibrant colours in the Styles section. In my opinion, the
font and detail combine well together. It
really gives out the party mood as well as making this examplelook more fun and exciting but I feel that you won’t be able to
read the masthead when i add in the main image.
In conclusion, I think that I should go for a font that has a simple but effective
theme for my music magazine- font 9 looks really eye catching and it defines
the plainness.
