Three font experiments



    Vintage Hummingbird


For my first font idea, I chose a sans serif technique “Lucida Handwriting”. Due to the artistic flicks at the end of each letter, I feel this font creates a unique, adventurous appearance at the same time as looking professional with the neat, joined up handwriting. I feel that this font will suit my target audience well due to it not suiting a particular gender more than the other. As a result of the bold font, I feel placing this overlaying onto the main image will be clear and easy to understand.

For my second choice, I decided on a similar sans serif font, “Bradley Hand ITC”.  Although this font is slightly too thin, which may be hidden by other overpowering elements on my front cover, I particularly like the curved, flicked style that emphasises the “individual” people for my target audience.

The third font that I experimented with for my front cover was a serif style, “MV Boli”. Due to the large, bold letters, I felt that this font would suit my magazine well, considering it was very much similar to my other two.  As addition to this, I feel that this font is much easier for the audience to read, whilst still being eye catching and enticing for a young target audience.
