This Font is an ideal one to use on a hip hop magazine. I have also considered my target audience when choosing my fonts. From my market research, I have decided to aim my magazine at mainly 14 to 17 year olds. This writing font seen above would be ideal because it does not portray a serious, formal atmosphere. This is through the soft looking texture, and bubble writing. It is also a simple font (it isn’t something too chaotic). This is important because my market research showed that a majority of the people I interviewed did not want a busy/chaotic cover.

This font is a much more expressive font than the one before. The reason why this one stands out is because of the effects used, it gives it a 3D look. This font can also be linked to the hip hop genre magazine. This is because hip hop features are usually those that stand out. For example, the stereotypical jewelry (‘bling’) worn by numerous hip hop artist. This directly links with that, as this font is instantly noticed for standing out, just like other hip hop features.

This font is a much more contemporary/modern. This would be useful because it is very creative, which is what I want my magazine cover to look like. However, this font is a bit unclear, which may cause my readers a bit of distress. Never the less, my target audience is the younger generation, so they may be more used to seeing fonts like this.
