Font Ideas

Conventionally there are 3 fonts featured throughout music magazines and this has been the case with the several that I have researched and analysed. On a front cover there is usually the font in which the title is created with, followed by the font of the story/article headings around the page and then finally the 3rd font is usually used to explain what is in these articles/stories, the third font is conventionally used to highlight the least important information on the page as it is usually the smallest.

I used a website called DaFont (http://www.dafont.com/) which gave me thousands of fonts to choose from. I was able to sit and closely evaluate my favourite fonts and then analyse them to see if they would fit the genre of my magazine, which is indie rock.

I typed my magazine title into the website and viewed the previews which helped immensely as I could directly see what my different options were. I will be using this website to choose my fonts as they are easily accessible and I have a variety to chose from.
