Font Research

Primary Magazine Research

As you can see here all of the magazine headers are sans serif, this is something that I am going to use when creating my header. As well as this they are all larger bold statements, they take up a fair bit of the page, this is so they are noticed, however do not take the focus away from the image. 'NME' is one that I want to copy, this is because our names are similar and I feel that the font makes a bold statement on the page and is easily recognisable.

My initial font choices

As you can see I played around with the different fonts that I could use. I have chosen to specifically look at bold fonts, this is because of the research that I have collected all of the headers make a statement. As well as this all of the fonts that I chose are sans serif as this is something that I also found from my research. I then had to produce a survey to see which one was most favoured by my target market. 

Here are the results:

As you can see number 7 won, therefore this is the one that I have chosen. The feedback I received was that the triangle on the 'H' gives it an edgy and unique look, however it is also bold and eye catching.
