Font research:

I have came across the website Dafont, http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=107&page=4, here i have found some intresting fonts which i think would be effective to use on my masthead as they fit the genre of the magazine and look more athetically pleasing than a font from a general piece of software like microsoft word.

  • http://www.dafont.com/load-up-on-guns.font - 'Load up on guns' is a font from Dafont which i think would be very good for my masthead as it exemplifies original formality with the formal yet scratched out text.
  • http://www.dafont.com/birth-of-a-hero.font - 'Birth of a hero' is a font from Dafont which i think is very attention grabbing as a rough taste on a modern font, this exemplifies the target audiences style so i believe this would appeal to them.
  • http://www.dafont.com/old-press.font - 'Old press' is a font from Dafont which i think that would look good as it resembles the old fashioned look, this is something which i believe will be of intrest to the target audience as you notice them to wear a lot of clothes which were very popular in the 'olden days'.
  • http://www.dafont.com/rough-typewriter.font - 'Rough typewritter italics' is a font from Dafont which i think would be effective on my sell lines as it is easy to read but still conveys the rough and ready look i am aiming for.

The fonts i have researched above are not the definite fonts i am using in my magazine, during the production process i will come to a final choice upon this matter as i am not yet sure if these fonts will fit well together and look athetically pleasing on my magazine, but i am deffinitly taking insipration if anything from both these fonts and Dafont website.
