Choosing the font

In order to choose the most appropriate font for the music magazine, i created a text box and changed the fonts of the text several times. I ended up with these six different fonts.

The text is of a font of "CGF Locust resistance" which is a bold title which would stand out very well on the front page. However, it seems a little too bold and over powering for the genre of "pop". The next text is of "Arial" font. This font is very simplistic and easy to read, meaning it will stand out to the reader or buyer. However it is not extremely attractive and may come across as being a little dull. The third piece of text is a font called "Edit undo line BRK". This font is attractive and represents the genre of pop well, with its different way of font. However, if i were to choose this font it would have to be made large in order for it to be read clearly. The fourth choice of font was "BIRTH OF A HERO". This font is different from the others, making it original. However, it seems this font would suit better a music magazine of a "rock" genre. The fifth font was called "Courier". This is a well known and quite popular choice of font. However this may mean that my music magainze is not origincal if it was to contain this title. Finally. the last choice of font was of " Times new roman". This is proberbly the post well known font as it is used in Microsoft word by people everywhere. However, I belive this would not be a suitable font for a pop music magazine, as this font better represetn a word document.

These fonts were then showed to a group of 30 people, and they were asked to choose one type of font for the front cover. A list of these fonts was shown on computer, and a tally was made of the results, as shown:

With these results in mind the "Edit Undo line BRK" Font was chosen.
