Research and Planning: Research into Imaginary Fonts

Here are my examples of different mastheads for different imaginary magazines. 

I did one for a metal magazine named 'Death Metal', one for a pop magazine named 'Popworld' and one for a film magazine Called 'Popcorn'. I got these fonts off Photoshop and looked at different ones to decide which I thought would suit the type of music for the magazine.

For 'Death Metal' I used black font as I thought it would be appropriate for the style if metal which is usually associated with dark colours. I chose the font 'A Trip to Hell and Back' as I thought it was suitable for the Metal magazine and it was a sharp font that stands out and looks slightly jagged. 

For 'Popworld' I used purple font as it was a lighter colour and it is more of a colour associated with pop magazines. The font I used was to make it look more like a pop magazine as the words are more rounded and softer yet they still stand out.  

For 'Popcorn' magazine I used yellow font as the colour yellow is associated with popcorn. The font was used to give it a pop feeling as it looks a bit like bubble writing. This font also stands out to the readers so it will make them more interested in what the magazine is about.
