Font moodboard

I have created another mood-board. This time it is on the fonts I will be using. The fonts already installed on the mac are rather uninteresting and aren't suitable for being on a magazine. So I looked on dafont, a website where you can download different fonts for free, here is a link to the website
Here is the mood-board, this is to show that I have looked into different fonts.


The reason why I chose these fonts in particular is because they stand out and look like they would belong in my magazine. Also fonts are important as they give the magazine a certain style and identity in how it looks, if all the fonts were exactly the same it would look boring.

The a bite font was chosen for the magazine title because it looks like its worn out and fading. This suggests that the magazine is long standing and has been used and viewed a lot. A brush No for similar reasons.

The back to the future 2002 looks very futuristic and ahead of our time. I will use it for one of my magazine personalities to make him appear cool and trendy.

The barcode font will be used for making a barcode on the front cover. this is to save finding an image online and editing it on Photoshop, The downside of that is the image will have a white background and will stand out.

Lemon/milk is for titles and cover lines, its bold and trendy which is what i think cover lines need.

Smoolthan bold proves good for a general font in writing the articles and smaller sentences. it's plain enough for that purpose, but stands out from fonts like "times new roman".
