Font styles

Front cover:

For my front cover, I will use very simple sans-serif font to make my text easy for my audience to read. My masthead will be in a font called 'Cleanwork'. This font is a military style font but is popular with sports and running magazines in particular. I think that having all of my coverlines and minor text in a regular sans-serif font will make my masthead stand out and draw my audience's attention to my magazine. All text will be in upper case, as that is the style of the font I have chosen to use. My magazine has a laid back style and my aim is for it to be an easy read, without overcomplicating coverlines or too many colours on the page.
I will take inspiration from the title below for my masthead.


Contents page:

My contents will feature the same sans-serif font as my front cover. This is to keep withy laid back, easy-to-read theme. I would like to use different colours for the first part of my headlines to the descriptions to give you a clear separation between each headline. I will feature a subscription box in the bottom left hand corner with a contact number and some text in the same font about how to have your magazine delivered etc. The font used will be in upper case as that is the style of the font I have chosen to use. I would like to match my font with the one used on my font cover as I want my magazine to flow throughout each page. I woukld like to use a simple font like the example below for my contents page.



Double page spread:

The font on this page will be slightly different to the others in the sense that it will be in black and white, with possible some of the same green used on previous pages. This is because I intend to use a black and white image to give my double page spread a more dramatic feel. The font itself will again be in upper case as it is the same one used on my front cover and double page spread. My headline will be a different font as I would like to make it unique and interesting for the reader. I think the font will look good because my article is going to be small as that is what the people in my survey decided. A font like the one displayed below would give my DPS a creative different look to the rest of the magazine and will make my title stand out.
