Font testing for Masthead

I have decided to name my magazine “ name of magazine". In order to create the cover of my magazine, I wanted to explore different font types for my masthead. These are some of the fonts that I tested for my masthead;

Century Gothic;

Name of mag

Century Gothic font really simple like the Billboard's masthead. However, the typeface doesn’t  have a stylist feature. I think I will have to consider this font as my masthead. The typeface outlook appears to look official which convey a message clearly. Alternatively, as magazine is aimed at younger audience, this font is modern so they are more attracted to this font.

AR Bonnie;

Name of mag

AR Bonnie, in my opinion is genuinely unique. I believe this font is spectacular. However, I have come to conclusion of removing the use of this font as the audience suggested the fonts to be bold. Whereas this font is not.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Broadway;

RHYTHM

Broadway is a playful and bold font which compliments the masthead. Nevertheless, majority of people in the focus group not fond of this font type because they believe Broadway is unsuitable for a r&b genre of magazine. Therefore, I have decided not to use this font at all.

Copperplate Gothic Bold

RHYTHM

First I thought this font was appealing, then later onwards I did not like the concept of using Copperplate Gothic Bold, as a masthead because it is absolutely plain, perhaps this font will make the cover dull and lifeless.

Elephant;

RHYTHM

I tested my masthead by using Elephant font. The font is engaging.

COMPLETED FINAL

CONTENT PAGE MOCK UP 

These are the content page mock-ups, I have designed as a idea for my final piece outlook. The one on the left is a simply layout spacious which had more images then writing. On the other hand, the one on the right has more writing then images but the overall look is balanced because it covers up all the empty space of the magazine content page. The layout of the content pages are different as well as the colour scheme.  I have selectively chosen these image to embed in my magazine because it is taken in a range of settings and it has a different vibe to the mazagine.

DOUBLE PAGE MOCK UP'S

This is another sample of how, I might want my final layout of a double spread to look.  This time I have placed my quotation side of the half of the page spread on the left hand side to see what fit's best for the final double page spread. The colour scheme I have decided to use again is turquoise because it is a warm colour which juxtapositions the setting. Again a balance of Light vs Dark. I have intentionally chosen to create this double page styled layout because it signifies the pop genre it's cool, vibrant, bubbly and outstanding. I have made my masthead larger then the rest of my write up to make readers aware of the main title name of my music mazagine cover 'NVW'.
