Magazine Cover: Title Font

There were several fonts I found on dafont.com which I thought would be effective fonts for my magazines title. However, I chose 3 favourites and then asked my target audience which font they preferred.

My 3 Favourites:

1. Urban Jungle

I liked Urban Jungle because it linked well with the urban and grunge theme that I wanted to replicate in my cover as I believe it not only links to my magazine but also the social realist film my magazine cover will be promoting.

2. Blackout Sunrise

Blackout Sunrise fits in with the conventions of magazine title fonts as it is capitalised and bold. I was really fond of the boldness and also the fact that I could colour the font whatever colour I wanted to with ease, on photoshop.

3. CocoBiker
The quirky shapes that the font consists of links well with my magazines name 'MaveriK' which is derived from the word 'maverick' meaning, nonconformist and hen used as an adjective, has synonyms of unusual and irregular. The irregular style of the font not only links well with the titles connotations but is also very eye-catching despite it not being as bold as the previous 2 fonts.

After choosing 3 favourite fonts, I asked my target audience to choose their favourite. 'Urban Jungle' was the least popular because although it did have effective connotations, it simply wasn't as favoured as the opposing fonts. 'CocoBiker' was the second favourite font because although it was eye-catching and visually appealing, it wasn't as clear and bold as 'Blackout Sunrise'. 'Blackout Sunrise' was the most popular with my target audience and myself, it is both bold and eye-catching and the style means that it is easy to manipulate how I wish in photoshop.
