These are the ideas for the font and design of my magazine's title. The font used had to not be childish, and have a style which is appropriate in presenting the genre of music inside the magazine, meaning that the only appropriate font designs should not be imposing in a childish way.
The selected font should also be exploitable in terms of photoshop effects, so it can be modified accordingly in order to suit the front pages picture accordingly.
The first, third, fifth, seventh and eighth fonts are not suitable because, although bold and exploitable, they do not seem to represent the metal genre in any way. The third and eight are fonts that give off an atmosphere of young and cheap design, and thus are especially unsuitable.
The second, forth and ninth fonts are somewhat appropriate because of their similarity to Gothic scripture writing, frequently seen when representing the genre, but could be misinterpreted as giving a refined or upper class feel to the magazine, and the fonts are not easily exploitable as effects tend to make then look worse. These are put into consideration however, because they could be modified in such a way as to produce a more suitable look for the magazine.
The sixth font is in a good style, is very easily exploited, and is bold in a less childish way to the others, the emphasis of certain letters also helps it to impose upon the audience. The ways in which it can be modified are plentiful due to its simple design, and many effects prove to be quite successful in changing the look and design of the font.
The sixth or second font are the most likely choices for my front title, depending on how they can look in terms of added effects and their visual effect in certain pictures of a specific colour scheme.
