MAIN ARTICLE / FONTS

These is the first collage of fonts I've selected, all from very different magazines, yet all centered around fashion.
Picture 1: This is spread is for oh comely magazine, I liked its easy, lazy font,  very similar handwriting. I believe this font will attract a younger audience in comparison with the other two spreads.
Picture 2: A quite basic font, but it is bold, so it stands out. I imagined using this font as the title to an article, and placing it on its own on a separate page .
Picture 3: This font i very similar to the previous one, because it is quite basic, yet the style of this one is thicker and longer, I like the fact that it stands out against the white background, and is placed at the top of the page.

The main reason why this font stood out to me, was not only because of  its coordination with the image and the background, but because of its uniqueness, its quite hard in comparison with oh comely fonts, this emphasises and encourages the fact that it is a men's magazine. In turn this has made me think about whether my magazine is mainly directed at men or women, or is it a unisex magazine, as this can help dictate the type of fonts I use.

Unlike a lot of independent magazines (which are my main focus), the writing is placed across the image. Yet here it really works, I think it is mainly because of the font, it is thin and simple, therefore it is allowed to be enlarged without over shadowing the main image. It offers a clear and crisp introduction to the rest of the article.
