The font you choose for your magazine is very important - It will need to go well with your target audience and your chosen genre.
Like in a movie - Imagine the latest Saw movie used Comic Sans! Or Spongebob Squarepants opened with Times New Roman! You will need to visit a font website or two. I would suggest www.dafont.com or font101.com
These websites will allow you to search for fonts and then type a preview into the box that will show what your magazine title will look like using that particular font.
(These previews will NOT be high quality enough to insert into your finished work, as the font will need to be installed - We will know everytime if you try this shortcut: Photoshop reveals all!)
Once you have looked at a range, select a shortlist of about five possible fonts.
ust like your magazine you will have to evaluate what you like about each font to then decide which you would like to use for your magazine title font. This needs to be done this week as we will need to get your choice of font installed onto the L3 computers so we can start planning our magazines.
