Font Pallette

I have researched some fonts which I find suitable for my magazine, titled 'NOIZE'. I used the website 'dafont' in order to experiment with a selection of font styles and I have listed them below.

I have chosen to keep my font basic, here I have experimented with a few basic black fonts which has helped me gain ideas for which font would be most suitable.

This is my chosen font which will be my masthead for my music magazine. I have chosen this font as it is very distinct, therefore allowing my reader's of the magazine to easily identify my magazine simply by the style of masthead, although the colour of this font will change for my front cover. This font is simple although stands out due to the dramatic underline                                                                                                                                                                           and classic bold characters. I will use this font                                                                                               throughout my contents page and double page                                                                                               spread mastheads. This will allow me to maintain the                                                                                     same style throughout my magazine, although I have                                                                                     chosen second font which will be used for smaller                                                                                         text such as page numbers and my double page                                                                                             spread item.


This is the font that I will be using to write my double page
spread and also I will be using it to write smaller text such as page numbers and small sub headings. I have chose this font as it is very simple,although keeps in with the urban theme which my magazine has set. The colour of this font may also alter.





This is the font I have chosen for my cover lines and other larger text to be featured on my magazine. It is again a rather simplistic font, however it will be fitting in with the theme of my magazine, and it is not to dissimilar from my page number and writing font. This font will be featured throughout my magazine, where suitable. The colour of this font my also alter.






Here are my fonts that I gathered but I have decided not to use, due to the style of my magazine, these fonts would not be suitable to fit into my 'urban' theme, therefore I have disregarded them on that basis, but I have listed them below to show which fonts I disregarded.


I will not be using this font as I do not feel it has a 'urban' style which I desire for my magazine, and rather it would be more suitable for a rock magazine.

This is the same for this font, I feel that it would be more suited to a heavy metal magazine, due to the harsh style of writing, it would be best suited to a heavy metal magazine.








I feel that this font would be suitable for a urban themed magazine, however not the style of music that my magazine will be featuring, as it is written in a graffiti style as it is very bold.


This font will not be featured in my magazine as I feel it would be best suited to a pop magazine due to the very rounded lettering, and would not fit in with a urban theme that my magazine is creating.






Both of these fonts are very similar and I feel would work well in a rock/heavy metal magazine, due to the washed out paint appearance of the letters, giving it a very reckless feel.
