Mood Boards for Planning (Label D)

Fonts:

For this mood board I have specifically targeted existing magazine companies for the fonts they have used, the branding in which those companies have used create a house style known via fonts and styles. – That being the reason I decided to show current designs for music magazines and well-known companies within the music industry on this mood board, the main brands I have shown are: NME, Rock Sound, Q Magazine, Kerrang, RollingStone and the Radio 1 house banner. When analysing these designs I have noticed they all seem to have a regular correlation of classic fonts, which are bold and contemporary. On this mood board I have also included fonts in which I have found on DaFont.com which would be styles I would l like to possibly experiment with in the design process of this magazine. I used words such as ‘Magazine’, ’Music’, ’Edgy’, ’Unique’ and ‘Alternative’ as I don’t currently have an idea for what my magazine will be named and branded as. The Styles that I have picked mostly seem to be of similar taste although there are a few various sections which have a more feminine appeal; I probably won’t use these fonts as I want to use something which appeals to both men and women.
