10 examples of font with discussion

I used Photoshop to help

design these ten examples of
font for the masthead of my
music magazine. I have
selected some fonts that
would suit the front cover
through the process. I also
selected fonts that would not
stand out such as the first font
as it doesnt have that much
detail and it looks too perfect
with a straight line - this would
be most suitable for a
newsletter. However, as I
developed the fonts, I was
making progress by adding a
few adjustments by adding
some effects such as font 3. I
used this unusual font called
Reprise Stamp and it really
brings out the stamping effect
as it almost looks like
something you see on a
typical rock magazine such as
In font 4, i decided to use
Kerrang!
the Warp Text option to
make this example look
more dynamic and not
boring just leaving it
straight. Font 7 looks like
one of those words that
are typed using a typing
machine. I included a
black rectangular shape
to make it stand out but I
feel like this is suitable for
the cover lines.

In the last 3 fonts, i experimented with Styles to

add more detail on it. Font 8 looks so retro looking
and I like the colour theme for this example but I think
this is more appropriate for a gaming magazine.
Furthermore, font 9 looks very organised- I spaced out
the letters in order to achieve a classy looking mast
head.
Font 10 looks very energetic- I used of the Styles option
and I found the one where it has lots of vibrant colours. In
my opinion, the font and detail combine well together. It
really gives out the party mood as well as making this
example
look more fun and exciting.
