Fonts

Masthead

'PointerSisters- Freeformed' I chose this font because it has connotations of lit up Hollywood title, glamorous and important. The circles in the title also may resemble the light bulbs of a dressing room mirror, having expensive and classy connotations.

Coverlines

'Berlin Sans FB' This font is slim and neat so doesn't take any attention away from the masthead or the main coverline. Although this font is neat, it still looks modern and informal for the young, trendy female audience.

Main cover line

The main coverline that introduces the star is hand written and scanned into photoshop. This contrasts to the neat font of the rest of the coverlines.

Plug

'Gill Sans Ultra Bold' This is a very bold font that stands out, and this is important because a Plug shows something extra that is being offered, that will appeal to the audience.

Magazine Name

This is in the same font as the cover, to keep consistency and help the reader to remember the name, hopefully for next time they are buying a magazine.

 

'Queen of Classical Pop'

This font has connotations of royal and regal text, linking with the idea that she is the 'Queen' of classical pop. This contrasts with the handwritten signature in the left bottom corner, which keeps the page from not looking outdated, and keeps it modern and 'pop'; the genre of the magazine.
