The document discusses font choices for a rap magazine. For the masthead, the font "Bebes" was selected because it is bold and stands out, fitting the theme of rap music. The font "Myriad Pro" was chosen for the rest of the magazine as it has a serious, masculine style appropriate for the target audience of young adult males. A black, white, and red color scheme was also selected as most rap music magazines use those masculine colors.

1. Font Analysis
For my font on my rap magazine for ‘OPEN MIC’ I used two different fonts. One was for my
masthead which was ‘Bebes’ which I felt suited the name of the magazine best. This is
because the font is bold and stands out clearly for the customers to be able to read. I went
for this font because not only was it bold, which is a common theme for rap magazines to
have, but because the letters were formal and serious which goes well with the theme of
the music magazine.
For the rest if my magazine the font that I have used is ‘Myriad Pro’. This also brings a
serious, more masculine feel to the rap magazine because the readers will be mostly young
adult males who will just want plain, simple and bold text so that it is easier to read and
stands out more to them than fancy text. As the text is bold and simple it allows the theme
to justify itself as I amgoing for a simple and less busy magazine as I feel that is what my
target audience are wanting, a simple, organised and a quite formal layout. This is more
appealing for my target audience as they are more simplistic.
In addition to this the colour scheme I am mainly going to use is a black, white and red
theme as I feel this mainly suits the genre. These colours are also masculine so it can appeal
to my target audience and they are the colours that most rap music magazines go for. These
colours and fonts that I have chosen are simple yet effective for attracting my target
audience of rap fans who like basic and masculine themes with a set layout and organisation
to it also. The fonts and colours I have chosen also go with the codes and conventions of my
music genre.
