From looking at the mastheads from other pop music magazines such as "top of the pops" and "smash hits" i decided I wanted something simple and easy to read but also that would appeal to my target audience.
The first font i looked at was "Boris Black Bloxx" which i liked, it met my criteria of being simple and easy to read. However i wanted something a little bit more gentle, and the edges of some letters look quite harsh in this font and i didn't think this would particularly fit the pop music genre or appeal to girls aged 11-15.
The second font i looked at was "soolidium". I like this font because it is simple, easy to read and also looks quite flashy and cool. I wasn't sure if this would appeal to young girls but i can change the colour of the font to pink and add a glitter effect to make it appear more glamorous and therefore make it more appealing to my target audience. I don't think i will use this font for my mast head as i think it looks a bit too sophisticated to have as a masthead for a pop magazine but i may use it for the main flashes on my magazine front cover.
The third font i looked at was "BP replay" which i think is one my favourites. It is simple and easy to read. It also resembles other pop magazines choice of font yet is not the same as them. I think if i change the font colour to pink and maybe put some effects on it it will appeal to young girls and fit in with the genre of pop music.
This font i will be using for the title of my Double page spread. I think it looks flash and similar to the top of the pops font which is assosciated with pop music. It is also easy to read which i think is important.
The font i will be using in my double page spread for the main bulk of text will be something simple and easy to read. I didn't want to use times new roman though is this is overused and boring. I decided to use "Arial Rounded MT Bold" as this was simple and easily readable but not boring.

This font i wanted to use for the main flashes on my magazine cover. It looks stylish and the hearts that dot the i's i believe would appeal to the audience for my magazine. By changing the font colour to pink i could increase the appeal of this particular font to my target audience. Also it is easy to read as a font.
This font i looked at to make up part of my mast head. I wanted to have a contrast in the fonts i chose for the words "pop" and "mania". This font i will use for the "mania" part of my mast head. It looks kind of futuristic and computer like which i think will make it stand out when placed next to the font "val".
This font will be used for the other half of my mast head, the first "pop" part. I think this font suits the word pop and does look very like a font that would be used in "smash hits" or the "top of the pops magazine". I think having the contrast in the fonts val and namco in my masthead will draw potential consumers attention to the magazine.
This is a mock up of the title i did using the fonts Val for the "pop" part and Mac Type for the "mania" part and then i underlined it using paint.
