SDC Media AS Rory O'Neill: AS Media Coursework Main Task

I am now going to choose the type of fonts I am going to use for my music magazine.

MAST HEAD (Core Magazine) -

I think that all these fonts (Nilland, Nilland-Bold and Nilland-Extra Bold) would be unsuitable for my music magazine as they are a serif typeface which gives off a formal impression in which I do not want to give off to my target audience as I want Core Magazine to be a 'break' from the every day world so that they can relax, and I feel that by having a serif typeface, this would not be achieved.

Accents Euro Birth of a Hero:

I think that this font would be perfect to use for the masthead of my music magazine as it gives off a relaxed feeling but at the same time has a lot of attitude which I think is unique about it, also, I think that my target audience would like it as it looks quite classy (and as my target audience are in social groups ABC1) I think that they would appreciate that. Also the fact that its sans serif gives that relaxed feeling to the magazine overall.

Cheri:

I think that using this font for my masthead would be an awful decision. The font itself looks like you would find it on a child/early teenage magazine such as Top of The Pops. Also, the fact that it has a love heart above the 'i' is quite girly, and as my target audience is made up on mainly males, I feel that this would be an unsuitable choice to use in my magazine.

Vtks Revolt:

I have decided not to use this font for my music magazine as although it grabs your eye, it looks a bit to 'busy' and may distract the reader. Also, I feel that it looks quite childish and 'uncool' which young adult male readers wouldn't appreciate.

MAIN FLASH -

Accents Impact Label:

I think that this font would be an amazing choice for my main flash, as it grabs your eye and goes with the genre of the magazine (indie/rock). I feel that my target audience of mainly males would be attracted to this font as it is bold and masculine (which all young males want to be). Also, if the main flash is dramatic, I gives an extra emphasis to it.

Kaileen:

I would not choose to use this font for my magazine as it gives of a childish theme to it, which I feel young adults wouldn't be attracted to.

Accents Dirt2 SoulStalker:

I think that this font wouldn't be suitable used for a main flash for my magazine, as it seems quite busy the emphasis of the main flash may be taken away from it and wouldn't be so serious as it may be if the font was simpler.

MAIN SELLS -

Accents Euro Kimberley:

I personally wouldn't choose to use this font for the main sells as I personally find it too bold for my magazine and I feel it would take the emphasis away from the headlines/main flash.

Accents Euro Lane:

I like this font a lot and think that it would be perfect to use for my main sells on my magazine, it is simple yet effective as it looks unique but simple, also as its Sans Serif it gives that relaxed feeling that I want my magazine to achieve.

Accents Euro Dream Orphans:

I wouldn't use this font for the main sells in my music magazine, as I think that it wouldn't appeal to the target audience of my magazine as it is mainly males, I feel that this text gives an impression of femininity as the font itself is 'tall and slim'.

After analysing the different types of font in which I could use for my magazine (Core Magazine), I have decided to use the following fonts:
