These three font types were the initial fonts which I had thought of using as my masthead, as they immediately caught my eye. I liked all three of the fonts as they all differ from each other and helped me decide more accurately as to what font I should go for, and which of the fonts would meet the basis of my college magazine theme. Therefore, I chose to use the first font as my masthead because not only does it look elegant, but also compliments the the title of the magazine itself. In my opinion, I feel that this font looks good when incorporated with the rest of the texts on my magazine cover, because it is comepletely unique as compared to the other fonts used on the front cover. This would, therefore, help to intrigue my reader as well as to make the masthead stand out.
Although the second font fitted in with the theme of my magazine, it looked very childish and not at all something that would be on a magazine cover, aimed at sixth formers. The font, overall, does give a feel of it being included in a school/ college magazine, however, I don't think it can be used as a masthead. Another reason why I did not choose this font is due to the 'T' in the word, looking as though it has been cropped or cut off, which results in the word itself not looking aligned.
The third font was one of my favourites as I thought it would give a unique touch to my front cover. However, this did not go to plan because when I incorporated this font with the other fonts on my magazine cover, they did not look too appealing; the masthead font looked very sharp and overpowered the other fonts. Consequently, I decided not to go ahead and use this particular font as it would result in not grabbing the attention of the reader or, the reader would lose focus from the main body of the magazine itself.
