Prelim: Magazine Fonts Moodboard

I have created a moodboard based on different fonts in order to attract my viewer. Although fonts in general may seem as a small compartment on a fashion magazine it is something vital as it creates an image. It allows the viewer to see what kind of image the magazine wants to present and how that can help them in choosing if they would like to read it or not.

All of these magazines use their fonts in order to tell their audience what their magazine is about and the type of reader that they expect to have. For example, with Glamour magazine they use san-serif font allowing their audience to feel as if it’s more of casual magazine leading to how they are to do with not only beauty but lifestyle. The colour pink conveys how it is targeted at a majority of females due to how the colour scheme is seen to be more feminine using colours such as pink. This allows the reader to see just by the font what they are trying to imply without telling them directly so that they are able to see it for themselves. Elle magazine and vogue on the other hand use serif font in black as a use of colour majority going towards their heading and cover lines in previous publishing’s to presents them as being successful. This also shows that they are so established and therefore don’t even need colour in order to draw in their viewers. Others know about their popularity and are hence able to buy the magazine just by seeing the title. The spacing between letters in addition agrees to Vogue and Elle’s house style presenting a sense of sophistication being that they are high end brands and use spacing to make them stand out amongst their other aspects of the cover. As the title is the most important thing on a fashion magazine front cover as it allow and audience to identify who they are, the companies being able to not only  make themselves bold but attractive draw in others that might not particularly know their brand as a result being able to see how elite they really are.

To conclude, analysing font magazines was able to tell me about how much they are fundamental to a magazine front cover and context page due to how it sets the first initial tone for the magazine making the crucial decision for the public to see if they would want to buy it or not.
