This is a font sheet I made in PhotoShop. It contains all the fonts that I will be using in my magazine.
BONBON - this is the font in which I will write the masthead, as well as the 'Contents'.
FEATURING - this font is perfect to attract the reader's attention without being too overpowering and bold.
SEE SAW - I like this font because street art is a recurring theme in my magazine (I will use a picture of Yidi next to the contents page, which has a street art background) and it ties the previous pages of my magazine with the double spread. It is also an important part of teen culture as well as art culture (think Banksy), so I thought that it was worth including, considering that many people view it as vandalism, not actual art (an opinion I strongly disagree with). Moreover, it ties in with the distressed undertones of the photo which will be used for the double spread (smeared lipstick, messy hair, glitter on the face, biting into a packaged lollipop).
ISSUE NO. 3 - this font, along with the one used for APRIL 2019, is the well-known Arial (regular and bold). I find it to be a very simple, balanced font. Its purpose is to be easily readable, therefore I will use it when announcing the issue number & date, as well as for explanations (on which page you can find the featured artist, what is the editorial about etc.).
YIDI HUANG - I like this font because it has personality. I will put it right under 'FEATURING', as Yidi Huang is the artist the magazine will feature, and it creates a nice contrast between the different fonts. It has a certain feminine softness to it, which lies in the way the letters are written, somehow messily but they still manage to look well put together.
