Research and Planning: Fonts

Theses are 3 different mastheads for three different magazines. Theses are my practice fonts, and i have been playing around with the fonts. Even though the first 2 are both for music magazines they are for different types of music.  The first one is for a rock magazine, therefore i have choose a dark font, i would class this font as a scary rock metal font. I have also give it a  drop shadow to give it a darker look.  I have then give it a inner shadow in white to give it contrast, to make the font stan out. 

For my second font i have used a font which looks playful and exciting, to compliment the genre of music.  I have also give it a pink colour to show its for pop, when we see the word pop we think bright colours.  I also give this a drop shadow to make it stand out.  

My last one is for a film magazine.  When you hear the word popcorn you firstly think but films and how you eat popcorn whilst in the cinemas watching a film.  I then thought of popcorn at fairs and give the font a fair font.  I would also associate this font with the cinemas.  I give it a red colour to show fun.  I also give it a small drop shadow to make it stand out.  If I did a bigger drop shadow it would be too overwhelming.
