Research and Planning: Possible mastheads


These are the possible masthead fonts I will use for my music magazine.

I have narrowed it down to these five fonts as they seem to relate to the genre of my magazine.

I have chosen these font style because they are visually effective and fit in with the genre of my music magazine.

The font at the top of the page is the least dramatic and is very simple, but the design of the font it interesting and very bold.

The second font on the list is the most visually dynamic as it actually ties in with music, as the vibration illustration as if it was surging through the letter.

The third font on the list is very simple but is eye catching at the same time because of the switch between upper and lower case lettering. The font width also changes making it look bolder and wider in some places then others.

The fourth font on the page looks like it has been spray painted onto a piece of paper. The fonts seem to bleed into each other making the letters connect. This is a good connection to music as most music producers use a spray paint style to make a logo or brand.

The last font on the page doesn't connect to music very well but the style of the font makes it interesting to look at. The crack effect covering the font makes it look like someone has smashed the font up.

After looking at these font I have established that these fonts could be used for different genres of music for example, indie, dance and rock.
