Being the first thing a reader will see when picking up a
copy of a magazine, the font used is arguably the most important thing to get
right on the cover, as with a font and a professional looking photo, I aim to
create a cover even a professional magazine would be proud off.
I am aiming for a very simplistic, clean cut look, that will
appeal to people of perhaps a higher class/modesty. I like the typewriter
looking fonts, with bold line and striking typography, and feel my cover line
or basic text fonts will need to also accompany the text used for the mast
head. Above is a selection of fonts I like for my magazine, a particular
favourite being Courier and Rockwell, as these portray a typewriter well,
whilst still carrying a notable line weight, straight lines, and would be sure
to grab a readers attention.
The functionality of the font used on the contents on the
double page spread and contents pages should be more practical, with a focus on
the ease of reading the text, therefore my chosen font should be functionally
as well as aesthetically pleasing, matching the fonts seen on the front cover,
and sticking to the overall theme of the magazine, a high end simplistic
I will look for a more decorative font for the front cover
to use for my Masthead (the name of my magazine) and a neater, practical font
for the contents and double page spreads, for the body of the article and the
text body on the contents page so that is easy on the eye, and most importantly
readable.
