Font, Colour and Style
In my magazine I want my text to stand out to people in addition to making it readable and nice for the eye. The font that I have chosen and I will use for text is Franklin Gothic Heavy because it does stand out, it is readable and it is nice for the eye. For Headings, I want to use the font Nirmala UI Bold, this is because it is a really thick and chunky font. It again, stands out to the reader and allows them to know what they are searching for. On my double page spread, the heading will be in a bright red colour. This simply adds to the stand out factor.
My house style throughout the whole of my magazine have already been decided. Black, white, red and grey. Three of these colours (Black, white and grey) can be considered dull. However, they do work with the red. As it is a rap magazine, I felt as if I needed to partially follow the standards of a grimy look with the darker colours but also alleviate the darkness with the brighter colours. The colours of large amounts of text will be black throughout the magazine, this is because it is readable on a mid light grey background.
