Masthead Font Styles
Font Style: Bebas
This font is a very plain and simple font. It is quite tall which would make it very easy to read on a page. The wording could be manipulated easily without it becoming too distorted. However because it is a tall font it may not be the best to use because it would be hard to fit into a box which would become the full logo of my magazine.

Masthead Font Styles
Font Style: BlaxStabXXL
This font was the official font used by XXL on their masthead. It’s a very nice font that is big, bold and very easy to read. However because it was XXL’s official font it would not be the most suitable font to use as I want to create a similar magazine, not an identical one, which includes using different font styles.

Masthead Font Styles
Font Style: Evogria
Evogria is probably one of the better fonts that have been chosen. It is also a san serif font which obviously makes it clear and easy to read. It is bold and quite short, a similar height to BlaxStab XXL which makes it perfect to fit inside of a box.

Masthead Font Styles
Earthrealm is very different to the previous fonts shown as it is a serif font. When enlarged it may be harder to read it due to the serifs on the lettering. It also is not as bold as other fonts so may not stand out on the page too much. For this reason I probably would not choose this font, however the effects applied post-production such as drop shadows are effective.

Masthead Font Style –Final Choice
I have decided to choose Evogria as the font I wish to use as the masthead font style of my magazine. It has large & bold lettering which is perfect to use. As it is san serif it would be easy to change the shape of the lettering if needed to fit better on the page.
The lettering of the masthead will be most likely black, up against a contrasting red background which would highlight the masthead on my front cover.However, it may also be presented in white with effects such as a drop or inner shadow applied to make it “pop” out of the page for the benefit of a pass along audience.
