Font analysis

Font analysis

For my genre I have chosen is R&B , I have chosen this because I think this would allow me to give me more individuality and would allow me to have more of my own personality as the colours are varied depending on what’s in the magazine therefore I am able to have full choice on what I want to do and how it will look like and don’t have to decide on a specific colour until finish date as hip hop magazine range from full colour to just black and white so have full choice u until the very end. I have gotten some inspirations from fonts used by typical R&B magazines to inspire me to create my own.

The font here uses both sharp and rounded edges, this gives it a friendly but harsh feel like it has big news but is easy to read. As you notice with this particular R&B magazine the masthead is actually behind the main image which shows this one is quite popular however this is less common in hip hop magazines.

VIBE – plakette 5 SF --- I may chose this font as it gives off the same affect and could be useful in my magazine, is I want not only factual but also a bit of sass. Most of all this simple.

This font is shown in front of the main image on the magazine which is common in R&B magazines. The font uses a very noticeable and clear font with rounded edges, and doesn’t look to harsh, it looks friendly and inviting.

Billboard –  Berlin Sans FB ---- this one is not so up in your face as it has more edges and is bolder however this one would still appeal in my opinion because of the way hip hop is portrayed; strong, independent yet still got the nice said of good music. Most of all this simple.

 

Its sharp and o edge its stands out with the boldness of it, it’s a small masthead but makes up for it on how bold it is and how much such a small thing can actually stand out.

NME – Adventurer Black SF --- this one is not as sharp but still hold the same effect it stands out and is different. Most of all this simple, or there abouts.
