Font of my masthead

I got a few font ideas from a website called www.dafont.com, I will be analysing the strengths and weaknesses of each different font and then deciding the best choice for my magazine masthead. It was quite hard to find good fonts because a lot of them didn't relate to grime and wouldn't have looked right once I changed the writing to 'UKG'.


This is the first font I chose, I chose this because it's in bold font which will stand out to the audience. I personally think it looks good and I believe that it would work for my magazine. The weaknesses of it is that it doesn't really relate to grime and the 'G' is quite far away from the 'K'.

I chose this because it has a rough kind of 'streets' look to it, this is commonly associated with grime. The negative of it is that I personally do no think it will look good as a masthead for a magazine.




I chose this font because it has a graffiti kind of look, this is a good choice because graffiti is also associated with grime, the negative with this is that I couldn't really see it working as a masthead because it doesn't stand out enough in my opinion.






Overall, after looking at these fonts and some others online, I have decided to go with the first font to use as my masthead, this is because it stands out with the bold font and it suits the rough idea I have of my magazine. It also gives the magazine a professional look in comparison to the others as this is the only one that I could imagine as a real masthead. If there is still a problem with the 'G' too far away then I will have to edit it in photoshop to make it all the same distance away.
