This font could be good as my Masthead because it is unique and so would be recognisable. It is in all capitals so stands out, and the first letter of each word is in a box so stands out more. It seems quite ‘edgy’ and different. However, the font isn’t particularly thick so may not stand out.

This font is a simple eroded font, which is typical of the indie rock genre and is often used on album covers and magazines that feature this genre, meaning the target audience would recognise it as featuring that specific genre. It is bold and stands out clearly, as well as being simple and not too complex.

This is another eroded font. I looked at a lot of eroded style fonts as I knew they were typical of the genre and had connotations of rock and being ‘indie’. It is quite a bold font so would be easily seen. It is also quite messy which suggests being rebellious and independent which are values of the indie rock genre, as well as values that would appeal to the target audience of older teenagers and young adults. However it may not be the easiest font to read.

This font is a script-style font, so looks as if it were scribbled with a pen, which looks quite edgy and is unique for magazine mastheads so would stand out on the newsstand. However, it is not particularly bold and may not stand out against the background of the magazine cover, meaning it would not be easily seen by the audience.

This is another font that looks as if it were written with a pen. It is like a doodle, or a scribble which suggests it’s laid back, informal mode of address and would appeal to the predominantly teenaged target audience.

This font is also eroded and very bold, so would stand out and have an impact. It’s also simple so would easily be spotted and recognised by the magazine’s target audience, whilst easily being seen amongst the other magazines on the stands.

The lines around this font made it seem different and unique, as well as highlighting the masthead which I think is important as the masthead also clearly displays the genre of the magazine and so will draw the target audience to it.
