Fonts

For my magazine, the type of font I will be using, will be from a website called; http://www.dafont.com/ there is a variety of fonts on there so finding the correct one will be fairly easy as they are put into categories so there will only be a few that will be relevant for my style of magazine. A font that I feel would not be ideal for my style of magazine would be will be something under the heading of 'Techno' within this label of fonts their main theme is along the lines of blunt edge, digital text, here is an example of this








I think this style of font would be used as the title of a computer, or boys magazine. The style of font I am using comes under a category of cartoon, it's fairly child like, but fits with my genre perfectly, here is the text I will be using for my magazine;














Out of these 2 style fonts of 'Cheri' the one I am going to use is the first with the clear background, I prefer this one because it's more friendly with it's curved edges andletters close together, the one with the dark background I don't feel is as friendly as the edges are blunt and sharp and the letters are seperated so there's not really a 'together-ness' that makes the reader feel involved. I also felt that it was quite similar to that of the 'Camp Rock' title, quite curvy and not too blunt edged, which wouldn't make people look and think twice about buying it, it's very customer friendly.
