Font Testing

Font Testing

Times: This font would be most effective as a typical text font. It is not bold and simple enough to stand out from everything on the cover, to be used for a heading.

Arial: This could be used for headings or sub-headings, as it is very simple and easy to read. It is bold, so will stand out against backgrounds and pictures. It is not very exciting, so would have to be displayed in a bright colour in order for it to stand out.  

Veranda: This font is very large and simple. It would be most effective used for headings/sub-headings. 

Courier: This is a very unusual font. It would be effective used for sub-headings and typical text. It is not bold enough to be used for the magazine title. I like this font because it different from the others. It's quite unusual, and very spaced out. 

Trebuchet: This font is very bold compared to the others. It could be used for the magazine title, however i think it would be most effective used for the sub-headings. It's very easy to read, but not very spaced out. It may be slightly harder to read at a glance. 

Helvetica: This font looks a lot like arial. Like Arial, it could be used for headings or sub-headings, because it is bold and simple to read. However, it is not very exciting, so would have to be displayed in a bright colour in order for it to stand out.
