Fonts

I have chosen two different fonts for each page of my magazine; front cover, contents and double page spread.

Above is the font I have chosen for the title of my magazine, I wanted it as similar looking to a balloon-type font to illustrate the onomatopoeia of the word 'pop!' and to add effect that a balloon makes this sound when its burst.In my flat plan I had drawn the second 'p' of the word 'pop' to look like a balloon that had just been popped, but that is a difficult task to interpret on a computer so therefore I will have to change it to 'pop!'.I chose this font over the other font as this looked more balloon-like and in the other font it wasn't possible to have an exclamation mark.

This is the font I have chosen for my contents page, however this is only going to be used for the main headings as it could be hard to read and look clustered in a paragraph or a smaller size.

I chose this as I believed the other font wasn't girly enough, although it was still a curly font, it looks rough and it looks like it belongs to a rock genre magazine rather than pop. I will use a modern bold font for the list of contents and for the note from the author.

This font will be used for the title of my double page spread article, however once again like the contents page I will use a different, clearer font to write the article and any captions that are needed with images. This font is very similar to the other one I had chosen for these pages, however this one is the outline of the words so therefore its only the edges of the letters that change colour but on the other font the whole word changes colour, for this article I want the title to stand out, so I would prefer to leave the words white but the outside a bright colour. I also picked this font because of the stars that appear over the 'i's, as they tie in with the article of new found stardom for the band.

All the fonts I have chosen because they're modern, bold and different which I believe will appear to my target audience and are similar to the fonts used in the previous magazines I have analysed, however they have not used the a curly/girly font I am using for my contents page but I believe this will appeal to my target audience of girls aged 13-17.
