Fashion magazines have always been my favourite style. They are often very simple when it comes to designing their front covers, only containing a small amount of writing and a very simple photograph. I have chosen to focus my front cover design on INDIE fashion magazine. I may also incorporate the idea of using a small caption in the bottom right corner of the page, often used in a scrufy font as if hand-written on Indie fashion magazine.
using an image i found on the internet of Hayley Williams, i wanted to experiment with placing my mast head onto the image. i really like the idea of placing the mast head at the bottom of the image rather than at the head of the image.
Using indesign i found this font. I feel it fit perfectly with the rock them but it is also bold to represent the new and modern feel of the piece. I chose to open this up as an image on photoshop, adding the red background to make the writing stand out more, i also added the triangles above and below the two i’s to make my mast head more unique and individual.
I created this mood board in order to experiment with many different fonts i could possible use on my magazine. With this mood board i wanted to focus mainly on the font i shall be using for my masthead on my front cover. i want my magazine to be a modern twist on the indie/rock theme and so i am more inclined to choose a font that is bold and thick to show this modern look. I will also avoid using fonts with serifs as they show an older more vintage style of writing and therefore would change the style of my magazine.
