- 1. Title Slide Candidate name: Maximilian Stainer Candidate number: 3138 Centre number: 64135
- 2. Masthead Font Styles Font Name: Vonique 92 The denotation of the name of the font style is the style of this font is slim and stylish using a modern conception of the use of font. In particular the stand out in this font is the ‘K’ which is bigger compared to the other letters to set the tone of the article. Overall I am uncertain about this magazine because it is not bold enough and the ‘g’ looks very awkward and hard to understand which will set a poor standard for the rest of the magazine.

- 3. Masthead Font Styles Font Name: Raider Crusader The denotation of the name of the font style is bold but is slanted to the right to make the masthead more effective. The actual font itself is sharp and thick which fits well in to the hip hop category. Alongside this the font’s characteristics is modern which connotes that it fits into the target audience of the younger ages. In conclusion I don’t think this masthead font is suitable mainly because the font is too sharp and therefore it would not suit my magazine’s style which is plain but effective.

- 4. Masthead Font Styles Font Name: True Lies The denotation of the name of the font style is connoted in brush streaks of black which conjoin together to give more definition within the masthead. The style of the font also symbolises ‘danger’ due to the cautious streaks which represents the origins of the hip hop/ rap genre which will suit perfectly in my magazine. Overall this font is very appealing but I do not think it is bold enough to be my masthead so I may use it for my cover lines or elsewhere in the magazine.

- 5. Masthead Font Styles Font Name: Futurist fixed-width The denotation of the name of the font style is spaced out and clear which connotes the professionalism within this font style. The basic and simplicity of the style is effective as it stands out and would be presented across the top of the magazine. As a result this font is a strong contender but it is not bold enough and this is crucial so it appeals to the reader more. Screen grab of Masthead name in font style HERE
- 6. Masthead Font Style – FINAL Idea Font Name: The bold font The reason I decided to choose this font style over the choices was because the denotation of the name of the font style is the style of this font is bold and thick reveals how big and popular the genre the magazine is representing which is hip hop/ rap. The size and boldness of this font will also be more appealing to the audience who will buy this magazine. The colours used within the font will be either black or white alternating to it’s background to make the masthead stand out even more to the reader. The size of the font also reflects to the name because it refers to the strength of the logo which is just like the style of XXL.
