Font Research

ALL AGES DEMO

This font Style speaks for the sound of the magazine that a producer would create. The font is slightly distorted which suggests a loud and distorted music vibe. The Font can be linked with the Rock genre as the music produced by rock bands usually use distorted guitars thoughout their songs. The font assists the mode of address very well as it speaks to the audience by protraying the genre of the magazine. The font is very bold and would be easily seen by someone looking to buy a magazine. It is created using a san serif font which enforces its boldness. I would use this font for my magazine as I feel it relates to the Genre really well and looks like a professional Font style for a magazine. If i was to use this Font i would also use one letter as an article Kicker to draw the audience into reading the article.

Rock it
This font, also like the previous font style portrayes the sound of the music. However in contrast a 'splatterd' effect is used on this font style, this conveys that nothing is neat about the music genre for example punk, all the music is loud, messy and fast with changing guitar riffs. The genre i would associate this font style with would be punk due to the style of their music. The mode of adress to the audience is like the sound analysis it connotes.

a dripping marker
I would associate this font style with the R&B genre. My reasoning for this is that it looks like a graffiti written font and often graffiti can be sterotypically linked with R&B genre and Yobish behaviour. The font is not particually bold and probably wouldnt stand out on a magazine cover.

Pieces NFI

This font sytle connotes the music genre of Heavy Metal. Often heavy Metal Music can be related to scary themes such as blood, mosters and piercings. This dripping effect the font has shows how these themes are protayed through the font and speaks to the audience of the genre.
