Title and font for our magazine front cover

Here are the examples of different fonts we thought would create our magazine title, the different

fonts are; Chanson Heavy SF, Adamsky SF, Napa Heavy S and Ultra Serif SF, from the front covers we

have researched the colours we had hoped to include and use would have been red or blue, we put

the text on to a black background as we will have the black and white photo behind it in our real

magazine, we done this to get a good idea of what the font and colour would look like for the final

product. We showed a numerous amount of people which font they had preferred for a magazine

cover font and the majority picked the top font they

said it was bolder and would stand out more if they

saw it on the shelve in a shop, the font we will be

using is now Chanson Heavy SF.

The people that we asked were not sure which

colour they preferred as they had not seen the

photo we will putting on our front cover, as we

were still unsure we turned to our research and

from the FILM magazine we saw they used white

coloured font on a black and white photo of the

mans face, they use red coloured font to go with it

but we thought we would try the blue coloured font

like from the EMPIRE magazine of Iron Man 2.

In our drafts we had created a logo saying

“FILMS4YOU” it was in red as we were

experimenting with colours. In Photoshop we

started to create the logo for our front cover, we

decided to have the 4 in blue as the red didn’t seem

to work as well, to connect the L and S together we

drew in a square to make it look like it was flowing

also we done the same on the end of the F to make

sure it covered the I correctly. The M we changed

to a smaller font to fit in between the L and S.
