Font research!

I have started work on my cover and started with the fonts which could be possibilities. I am currently using DaFont.com for ideas as to which type of font I want for the design of my Pop Magazine Cover.

By researching the different fonts available I have got an idea of the type of font that I want to use, the font which I envisage for my Cover is to be big and slightly rounded but not to an extent where it looks childish, but at the same time I want to keep with the Pop Genre so it'll need to be fun and girly and catch the audiences eye.


As part of my research for what font to use and what different fonts are possible, I started with the History of Typography as seen in the video below...



From this video, I have learnt a lot about the different types of available and how they came about and what significance they have. It was very useful as part of my research.

The research into typography has shown me how important fonts are in creating a successful brand name as if used correctly it quickly becomes well known and recognized as being associated with a specific brand. This is what I hope to create through choosing a good font for my cover, a font which is unique but at the same easy to read and easily recognizable.
