Font Inspiration


Here is my prezi on fonts and what I am considering using. I try to evaluate why certain fonts are used on certain pages and cover the front cover, the contents page, and the double page spread. I felt I was focusing too much on the front cover before. Font is very important and can set the tone or create branding. I feel it is important that my font is original but not so much that it deviates from set conventions and looks out of place and sets the wrong tone.


I have learnt why fonts are considered to be so important and the role that they can play in branding. I've also looked at the fonts used on various pages in different kinds of magazines and I've come up with some ideas for why they might be used. I know that my main body of text on my DPS must be easily readable and that my contents page must also be readable however I can use more creative title fonts on both. My masthead font will likely be quite plain and I'll go with a bolded straight font to match my competition and to make sure that it is universal for each issue however I plan to experiment with other fonts and try a range of things.
