My top favourite out of the fonts I have collected is Category 5 the best because it is edgy with an urban twist. Despite this, it is still easy to read and its originality would make it the most attractive to potential readers in the Left Third. I will most likely use this font or something similar on my front cover.
My next favorite is Hard Rock. It is a very attractive font and it is easy to read, but I think it would distract readers from the main image and cover lines.
I like Disturbed Type because it is interesting. It incorporates one of the main instruments (electric guitar) into its fonts, which would match with my magazine. Unfortunately, it is not as clear as I would like, and the 'CLA...' of Clash Magazine which would take up the Left Third, is not eye-catching enough.
Next down is Mustafar Reloaded. It is similar to Category 5 but I don't like that the S doesn't look like a proper S. I don't think Mustafar Reloaded may not be as interesting to readers as Category 5.
I chose to study the aftermath font because it is very abstract. However, I find it childish and inappropriate for a magazine with serious professional artists featuring in it.
My least favourite is Keep On Trucking. Although in itself it is a nice font, it is inappropriate for a Rock/Metal magazine. I feel as though it would be targeting the wrong audience and would not suit the artists that I want to feature in my magazine. It would suit an RnB magazine better.
Unfortunately, after some research, I have discovered that Clash Magazine is already in existence in an online form, so I will choose a new Magazine title and test some more fonts.
