Research and Planning: Serif Fonts


For the task today, in class we did a discussion about what fonts are appropriate and which ones should be forbidden when writing a double page spread for a magazine. We discussed the difference between Serif Fonts and Sans-serif Fonts. It is morally said that Serif Fonts should be used in the creation of double page spread, this is because of the small flicks at the end and corners of the letters, this will make the type more eligible and will stop confusion between the letters. For example, if using a Sans-serif Font, sometimes the letters can look the same so the reader might be confused by the I and the l, but because of the flicks in the appropriate places it will tell the reader which letter it is meant to be and the flow of the reading will not be stopped.

Research and Planning: Make-Up Idea #1

This is a simple technique, but I decided to consider it as it is being used a lot recently. It is a very rock technique which we see being used by the likes of Hayley Williams (front woman of rock band Paramore) and Seirra Kusterbeck (front woman of VersaEmerge), who are influential as woman in the rock industry at the moment.

Research and Planning: Magazine Update #1

What have I yet to do?

  1. I need to finish the creation of my Magazine, of course. The cover is nearly finished except for the lack of photographs that are on it, therefore I will be needing to take my photographs as soon as possible.
  2. I have also began the production of my Contents page, in which I will be needing many different pictures of different things, this is important so as to make it look like a real Rock magazine, as there would be many pictures.
  3. I also need to begin the production of my Double Page spread.
  4. I need to write the article for my Double Page spread, which is vital in the production.
