Ancillary Task: Magazine Font Questionnaire - the results

I have decided to use the fonts that I originally found for the cover lines as they stood out to me from all the different fonts. This is good because a convention of a magazine front cover is to have a bold and eye-catching title which draws the audience in.

When I revisited the website I used to find the cover line fonts (www.fontspace.com) I found another two fonts which I liked and throught were highly appropriate.  These are ‘Omniblack’ and ‘Mouse Memoirs font’ (shown below).

Omniblack


Mouse Memoirs font


To come to a final decision on what font to use I printed off the different fonts and asked 20 students (aged 12 to 16 to fit my target audience) which font they liked best. Below are my findings:

Font
Number of participants who chose this font for the title of my magazine
Playball
1
Cutie Patootie (see through)
0
Cutie Patootie (bold/ filled)
1
Really Awesome
3

Hug Me Tight
5
Lobster Two
3
DJB and My Shadow
1
Typo Garden Demo
0
Love you through it

Mouse Memoirs font

From this I can clearly identify that ‘Hug Me Tight’ was the most popular font therefore I will use this font. Conclusively, this means that my final magazine title design will be the ‘Hug Me Tight’ font in the colour light blue.
