Font Testing

1) I think Times New Roman, would not be suitable for a magazine as it is very plain, quite boring and not a font that would attract our target market to purchase the magazine. This font would be better suited to perhaps a newspaper such as The Daily Mail or Sunday Times, as they deliver national news, which is sometimes of a serious nature, therefore a more formal font is required in order for them to look professional.

2) Jokerman is a font I believe would be better suited, if our magazine was aimed at younger children about 10 and below, as it is very squiggly and playful, which would be appealing to younger children. I feel our target audience would find this font childish and immature and would struggle to take the magazine seriously.

3) I feel Mr Big SF could be suitable for my magazine, the font is quirky without being too childish at the same time. I would most likely use this font for the masthead, as writing too much in this font would be difficult to read and the appeal would be lost.

4) Arial Black, would be suitable for my magazine as it is bold and will stand out against any background. The colour is also neutral so it is not favouring males or females. This font would be used for more formal style magazines or magazines wanting a cleaner finish. 

5) This font would not be suitable for my magazine as it is very elaborate and quite feminine. A font like this would be better suited on a women's magazine where the audience would be predominantly female. Pink is also a colour mainly associated with females, so male students hoping to purchase the magazine may feel put off by this. 

6) Undercurrent BNT font could be quite fun to have on the cover, it's graffiti style is quite urban and graffiti is also stereotypically associated with teens, which is who my target audience are. A font style like this, would most likely be found on an underground music magazine and any other magazines with a more urban theme to them.
