Myriad Pro

THE UNSEENMyriad Pro is a font I chose because it is tall, effective when the font is in all

capitals of which is similar to XXL and makes that look effective. The text can be manipulated without any distortion too it and also would fit very well on my

front cover with the space I have got as it is tall and bold. However, the concern I have will be that it is not bold enough and isn’t as similar to XXL’s

font as I would like.

The UnseenI feel that this font is very bold and is the boldness that is similarly linked with the XXL font used. It is tall of which might be an issue with my magazine as I

have to spread the font out to match the blank space and ensure there is enough space to accommodate the main image.

Similar to the XXL Font used for its masthead

The Unseen

I choose this font because it is quite stretched out and would be effective within the space I need to fill. It is however quite distorted and doesn’t link to

XXL’s Font used but also doesn’t seem as bold as it should be for the main font on the front cover it needs to be more captivating.

In the end I chose….

THE UNSEEN

I have decided to use MYRIAD PRO as it is clear and tall and represents the capitals very effectively just like XXL’s font does. But also it fills in the blank

space at the top of my page where my masthead for my front cover page will be present.

The lettering of my masthead will match up to a white/grey background therefore contrasting with one another. However, it may be adapted with

layering effects such as drop shadows that therefore will help the font “pop out” of the page.
