Font Analysis Pop magazines use a variety of different fonts to attract their audience and convince them to read the magazine. They use strong, bold and fun fonts to make their magazines effective and stand out. They also have their fonts in bright colours as this represents that it is a pop magazine, and catches the attention of the target audience. Here are some examples of the fonts that have being used in the two famous pop magazines: We Love Pop and Top of the Pops. The font of ‘Top of the Pops’ is in white but it highlighted in a bright pink which reflect the gender of the target audience. The magazine uses a sans serif, swirly, and scribbly font which shows the magazine is fun, exciting and enjoyable. It is bubbly and has many flicks which shows off the magazines happy and entertaining side. Furthermore, this gives a feminine look which is appropriate as the target audience is young, teenage girls. This all causes the font to look youthful, fun and relevant for a pop magazine. The letter ‘S’ is emphasised as it has a curl at the end, increasing the femininity of the font and catches the audiences eye. ‘We Love Pop’ use the colour black as their font which is simple and bold. Though, they use the colour pink on the heart which stands for the word ‘love’ and this is also attracting the target audience. Just like ‘Top of the Pops’, ‘We Love Pop’ also use a sans serif, which also makes the font look youthful and feminine. The font is in capital letters which stands out and grabs the audience’s attention. The font indicates fun and coolness, which is appealing to the target audience.

Font Analysis

Pop magazines use a variety of different fonts to attract their audience and convince them to read the magazine. They use strong, bold and fun fonts to make their magazines effective and stand out. They also have their fonts in bright colours as this represents that it is a pop magazine, and catches the attention of the target audience. Here are some examples of the fonts that have being used in the two famous pop magazines: We Love Pop and Top of the Pops.

The font of ‘Top of the Pops’ is in white but it highlighted in a bright pink which reflect the gender of the target audience. The magazine uses a sans serif, swirly, and scribbly font which shows the magazine is fun, exciting and enjoyable. It is bubbly and has many flicks which shows off the magazines happy and entertaining side. Furthermore, this gives a feminine look which is appropriate as the target audience is young, teenage girls. This all causes the font to look youthful, fun and relevant for a pop magazine. The letter ‘S’ is emphasised as it has a curl at the end, increasing the femininity of the font and catches the audiences eye.

‘We Love Pop’ use the colour black as their font which is simple and bold. Though, they use the colour pink on the heart which stands for the word ‘love’ and this is also attracting the target audience. Just like ‘Top of the Pops’, ‘We Love Pop’ also use a sans serif, which also makes the font look youthful and feminine. The font is in capital letters which stands out and grabs the audience’s attention. The font indicates fun and coolness, which is appealing to the target audience.

In order for me to be able to find the correct font for my music magazine, I had to do some research to find the perfect one for Non-Stop Pop. After taking consideration of each font that I liked and found affective, I had made a small selection of different fonts which are:

Days Fabada Regular Joystick Penelope Anne

I then came to a decision and decided to use the font ‘joystick’ in my music magazine. This is because it is simple but very fun and dominating. It is not boring or not too over the top, which is why I chose this font as my final choice. I believe one of the reasons the target audience will be attracted to my magazine, is due to the use of font as it is bold, and stands out.
