L02: Fonts, Graphics, House Styles

 

The reason why I want to use these types of colours is because, the level of brightness they bring, will make it much more easier for my audience to see. Also, this will allow me to use any sort of editing to my masthead such as adding a stroke with a darker colour. 

The next use of colour that I will be using is a dark blue font of colour that I plan on using for the stroke outline of the masthead, to try and illuminate the masthead to allow it to be seen from a distance. 

Shapes

For my magazine the following shapes that I am going to use are those shown above. This is because I will be able to use them to full effect on photoshop and create things such as sell lines, secondary images, advertisements, cover images. This will allow my magazine to look more professional by allowing me to use shapes to fit in extra content which will allow my magazine to look more interesting.

These fit the genre of sports magazines, as i will be using colours that are typically seen on sport magazines such as football, snooker and many more. I will be including an enlarged image for the contents page, that will help show the audience what is included in the magazine. 

These fit my genre of sports magazines, as my font cover will feature bright bold colours that will fit the theme of snooker, to make it recognisable. I will also use many photos based around Snooker, as my goal is to also allow my audience to know what the magazine is about without looking at the masthead. 

These also fit my genre of sports magazines, as my double page spread will follow the same colour pattern as both my front cover and my contents page. This will keep my magazine constant, as I will carry on using the shapes that will be used on my front cover added onto to my double page spread.

    

The four different fonts that I used for my magazine are in order from the first one I started of with to the one that made it to the final piece. The reason why I changed the first masthead, was because I had 2 dark colours on top of each other making it hard to be seen from a distance. For my second masthead, I changed the background colour to a dark red with the masthead being bright blue. However, I was still unsure about the size of my masthead. For my third edit of my masthead,  not much was changed other than the size and positioning of the masthead. However, my fourth and final style of my masthead, stands out much greater than the top 3. Not only have I made the masthead brighter, but I have also added a blue outline on the masthead. In addition, I have put an inner glow on the background to try and make the masthead stand out more as it makes the masthead more projected.
