Magazine Name & Masthead

I have chosen to name my magazine 'GO!'. I liked this as it was short but grabbed attention. I feel that it's quite fitting for my magazine as I want it to be fun and exciting.

The font used for my masthead is extremely important as it will be one of the first thing a potential reader sees. The font I choose to use will have to fit my theme, but also suit being a masthead font. It is important I don't use an illegible font, or one unsuitable for a magazine.


The first lettering I looked at was 'Cookies'. I really liked it as a font, and thought that it went well with my theme however I decided that it wouldn't stand out enough to be a good masthead font.

The second font I looked at was 'Little Bird'. Although I like the style, the lettering isn't really appropriate for a magazine mast head. It isn't eye catching enough, and could get lost in the page.

I decided that 'Market Deco' was my favourite font, and felt that it was the best for my magazine. I also asked for opinions off my classmates and they agreed with this idea. It is not too bold and therefore won't take the entire focus however it is legible and has a 'magazine' type feel to it.
