Font Style

Having looked at the different type of font styles used on published TV magazines, this will then influence the way my own magazine will look like in terms of font style and colour. Having already deliberated on the house style of my magazine and the type of colours I will use, the main focus now is figuring out the different fonts that I will use. I have looked at many different styles on online websites to see which would best suit my magazine and the normal font conventions.



Here is the font type 'Nouvelle Vague', having used 'dafont.com', I managed to pick a lot of different font types to go onto my magazine. I think this font best fits magazine conventions, as well as making it stand out against the rest, adding more of a personal touch for the magazine to make it identifiable. The font looks sophisticated and the bold writing emphasises this making it best suit the norms of magazine font styles.



Here is the font style 'Elegant Typewriter', I chose to look into tho type of font as it in keeps with the idea of journalism, and magazines, adding an old traditional twist. This type of font is best associated with old newspapers and writings, therefore I felt it would add a more older feel to the magazine. Witht his in mind, although it being a very conventional font type for magazines etc. I believe I need something more modern and contemporary to suit audiences today, as well as in keeping with the idea of all of the news inside being the newest and most up to date information.



Here is 'School Book New', I wanted to test out more unconventional font styles, to try and challenge certain magazine conventions and to see whether my magazine would work better with something more personal. However, after class feedback on this font, I found that people found it to look childish, and a type of font that would be found on children's magazines rather than on a TV guide. Therefore this will not be the font I will use on my finished piece.

From further research, I found none of the other font styles I looked at seemed to fit the magazine conventions as well as 'Nouvelle Vague'. With audience feedback as well from my peers, many also said the same. Therefore this will be the font for my magazine title.
