When deciding on a font for the masthead
of my college magazine ‘HIGHLIGHT’, I knew that I wanted it to look clean,
sharp and
easy to read. I
considered using fonts 1, 2 and 3, from dafont.com, however I found that they
looked too cartoonish for my magazine, which is meant to be focused on aiding
school studies and exams. I also looked at 'classic school fonts’, however I
found them difficult to read, like font 4.
Even though the fonts were similar, and
the main differences between them were the angle of which they were slanted by,
however I chose the following font because I thought it matched the name of my
magazine the best.
Once I had chosen the font for the
masthead, I experimented with the ‘Stroke’ feature, because I wanted my
masthead to literally be highlighted. I also experimented with features like
‘Bevel and Emboss’ and ‘Drop Shadow’, which are elements which I decided to
include to enhance the masthead. My final choice for the masthead was C.
