Style/Iconography of my Product

-Create a video/mood board/sketches of the style your magazine will take. Look on pintrest to gather ideas related to the genre/style of your genre and some stylistic elements you want to create.  E.g. -Font mood board -Images you like the style of -Album work of existing artists -Existing front magazines you find inspirational/like the style of. -Imagery you find interesting -Posters/ artwork from existing bands in your genre. -Themes you think your audience would be interested in etc. I created this table to help me analyse and evaluate different type faces and the connotations they portray. I then looked at the websites www.dafont.com and www.1001fonts.com to offer a wider range of fonts to choose from for my mast head. I decided to do this because there is a lot more fonts to choose from, meaning that the font I choose for my masthead will be more original and differentiate from other music magazines.   I like this font for my masthead because it is a simple design and stands out. The typeface is a serif style and I think this gives it a classic look. I think this font may look a bit general which is the only problem with it.   This is a decorative font and I like it because it creates drama. I don't think it would be good for my magazine because my genre is hip hop/R&B and this font looks similar to the font used by The Sex Pistols which fit more into the rock genre, meaning it could be misleading.   This font is a sans serif font. it is bold and stands out which is why is would make a good mast head. This font is also similar to the font used on American college varsity merchandise which is also good because a lot of the music in my genre/s originates from America.   I like this font because it a mix between a sans serif font and a decorative font. It is original and interesting setting it aside from other fonts used. I think the only problem is that is may be too decorative to be known as a respectable music magazine.   This font is also both decorative and sans serif. I like this because it is eye catching and interesting making it a good font for a mast head. I think this font would look better with a magazine about dance music because it is similar to some already used in that genre.   I like this font because it is a serif font with some decorative aspects with some of the letters being smaller. This font is similar to the first one I found but is just more creative which is why I like it.   This font is a decorative typeface which draws attention to it straight away. This typeface could come across as too childish which may be a problem because my magazine is aimed at an older group of people who like the genre of music my magazine is based upon.   I like this font because it is both decorative and sans serif but has a mature appeal to it. I also thinks the 'O's look a little like records which is relevant because the music I am focusing on originated on records and tapes.
