Experimenting With Font Titles.

For my music magazine, I wanted to ensure that I gave my magazine the best start; seeing as the title of a magazine is one of the first things the audience look at (or look out for), I figured this would be a good place to start off my music magazine. I wanted a title that would be well suited for the type and style of magazine that it is. After debating the entitlement of my music magazine; I decided that ‘Damage’ would work best as it can be illustrated, then I had to decide which illustration was best suited for my magazine as it illustrates the word ‘Damage’ perfectly. From all the different fonts I tried, I felt that font 2 best suited my magazine; as font 1 was too basic for my tastes, font 3 was too structured and font 4 was too amateurish.
