To create the masthead designs I used a variety of fonts that I think could be effective on my magazine front cover. I used fonts available on Adobe InDesign along with fonts from the 'Da Font' website to include a wide range of fonts to choose from. I used many different tools on InDesign to make the designs unique, for example I made the letters closer together, furthur apart, bold etc. I did this in order to gain an idea of what kind of typography I think would be effective. I want to use a font that is bold so that it catches the attention of the reader and draws them into the magazine, increasing the chances of a potential sale. I also want it to be clear so that the readers find it easy to read what it says from a furthur distance which will also help to entice them. Chosing the font is an essential part of my magazine as it will be associated with it for the rest of its existance, and if any other media was to evolve from my magazine e.g. radio,music channel,stage name - I would have to use the same font so that people are able to recognise it. The fonts that I have displayed can also be associated with the genre of music I am focusing on - Indie. This is because this particular type of genre doesn't include anything too 'over the top' and they focus mainly on the music rather than glitzing up their image - therefore I feel that a basic, clear font will be effective as my Masthead design.
