Research Into Fonts

I searched the website www.dafont.com to find a range of possible fonts which I could use in my final product.


 When I created my flat plan, I ensured the masthead included one word of two fonts. One of them was bold and square while the other was round and curly. When I create my final product, I will incorporate these two fonts to make the title 'Eyedol'. The first three letters will use the JIMTHORPE font and the final three letters will use the Dutch and Harley font.


 I will use this font in my main sell line as it is flowery and will reflect the artist's feminine persona. This will stand out and be unique to the artist.



This Earwig Factory font stands out and is eye-catching. I will use this font to my advantage and allow it to fulfull its uses by using this font for my headings and subheadings in my magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread.


This Weird Cuts font is extremely eye-catching and unique which matches my indie genre. Each letter in this font is different from eachother and is appropriate for my magazine. I aim to use this font occasionally as it is very outstanding and could be too much if I use it too frequently so I will use it mainly for skylines and banners.


I chose to use this American Dream font with text related to the american themed image I will use on my contents page. As my model will wear accessories and carry props with the american flag on it, I will use this text to match the theme I aim to portray.


This One Direction font is less eye-catching and in the reader's face which is why I will use this font for the majority of my text such as on sell lines and subtitles. I feel that if I use too many eye-catching fonts, the consistency of the magazine will be lost and the product will not look as professional.
