FONT CHOICES

 

 

For the main font I chose one called Bebas Neue (OT1) I chose this font because I think it was quite fitting for my magazine genre. It was easy to read and bold so it'd stand out against everything else on my pages.

I also looked at Arial to be my main font however I decided it'd be too plain and wouldn't have the effect I wanted as it was a little bit too plain to be used the most throughout the entire magazine.

Another choice for the main font was Moonshiner, this font was also bold and stood out but it was quite difficult to read which would be an inconvenience if the majority of the text was this font.
I nearly chose the font Lucida Sans Typewriter but after consideration I decided that I did not like how spaced the letters were and it did not really look appropriate for the theme of the magazine and my target audience.

I used the font Arial for some of the smaller parts of text on my front cover because although I initally rejected using it as the main font I used it when I needed to add small extras to the pages and felt that I had used Bebas Neue (OT1) too much. I used Arial for those parts because it was not too over the top.
For these smaller parts I also considered using the font Calibri however I decided not to use this on the cover because although they're both quite plain standard texts that I had in mind, Arial was more spaced which took up more room on my skyline which is what I intended for it to do.

I used Calibri on my contents page rather than my front cover because for this piece of text I needed a plain font that would be easy to read as there'd be a large amount of compressed information that is important for the reader to see so the clarity and spaced out letters were appropriate for the section.
Initially the font I used for that part was Bebas Neue (OT1) however I felt that I'd already overused this font and I needed it for some of the other parts of the text, also it was not easy to read when compressed.

I used the font Moonshiner for a promotional offer
