Font Ideas

 For my magazine advert, I researched a numerous of different font ideas so I would have a range of fonts to choose from, ending up in my choosing a font I believed would be the best sutable for my magazine. I ussed the website http://www.dafont.com/ to do this. I want to translate to my audience the historical refrence that politics and history share and I aim to do this through my font.

 This font is called 'Organic Elements' and I really like this font. I think it is a quite sophisticated, smart and old fashioned way of writing, without coming across as to old, to hard to read or to boring. I really like the swirls on the 'T's as I think they give quite a nice touch to the writing.

This font is called 'Old London' and I think there are many good features about this font. I think it reallys stands out from other fonts because of the boldness. I also like the way that the writing is very British and very old fashion, two key features I really wanted to include in my magazines masthead's font because of the connections between that and the subject of politics. However, the only problem I have with this font is the 'W'. The reason for this is basically, just because it is very hard to understand and read what the word actually is because of the way the 'W' is written.

This font is called 'Justice by Dirt'. I really, really like this font as I find it very eye catching and interesting to look at. The reason for this I think is because of the different shawdows and shades created in different places created by sections of the letters themselves being 'coloured in' dark and creating the shadow effect. The way that the font is joined up aswell I feel gives off a sophisticated feel to the text. Also, the way that the first letters in each word has been created to include swirls and just look fancy in genral reminds me of old fashion story writing in which the first word of the story would be bold and stand on its own with a background of detailed art and detailed art within the first letter itself.

I have also had the idea of using the actual 'logo' for wyke as it were on my magazine front cover. What I mean by this is using the college's way of writing 'Wyke' instead of using a font for the actual name of the college. This would mean putting the image of the Wyke's actual name as an image next to a piece of text. This is a very rough idea of what I actually mean:
