Fonts

Below are some free, un-copyrighted fonts i have found on the website dafont.com. They are san-serif fonts which fit the style of my magazine well and would suit it

like i said in a previous post i should vary my fonts but not uses too many as to confuse the audience i should also stick to fonts which are easy to read, for instance 'Planet Kosmos' should only be used in small moderation as it would be difficult to read a paragraph of it, i will perhaps use it for a header or even just page numbers.

Even More Magazine Research

This magazine is effective for a variety of reasons, the main photo is a close up of the artist 'Drake' this close up shot makes the magazine seem unusual but interesting and would make it stand out well from others the text on the front cover is also good it does well to come across the subject but not block him from view, by selecting a smaller font for the articles it detracts less from the cover image. i may use this close up style in my own magazine to improve it.

More Music Magazine Research

This magazine uses a minimalist approach to achieve a stylish, streamlined look.the uses of colour is done well using a red to highlight the text and stand out from the black and white image.The text is a simple san serif font which is easy to read and especially easy to identify the main article due to the red colour. The cover image is also well positioned filling the entire spread of the front page.
