From looking at other regional magazines, outlined in my first post on Thursday 18th of June:

I have began to look at different styles of font that I could use for my own magazine and billboard's masthead...
I found these on http://www.1001fonts.com/
I feel that the first font, at the top of the page is effective because it doesn't seem like if used, it would be just directed at males or females, it's edgy and cool and I've never seen a magazine which uses a font like this.
The font on the left I also like because it's bold and straight. I feel that this would be dominant on the page making the masthead and name of my magazine eye catching to readers. I feel that this could be directed at males more so.
I am quite a fan of the font on the right because I think the way the letters are capitalised brings it a sense of superiority. It's neither masculine or feminine and this font would help me target both genders. This style of font could be used stretched across the page or even in the left third.
I also like the font at the bottom despite it's similarity to the font on the right. This is because I feel like I could have it whatever colour I like, and still have the straight, smooth black outline to give it a sense of dominance. Yet, I do think that a single coloured masthead may be nicer.
When creating my magazine and billboard I will refer back to http://www.1001fonts.com/ and especially the fonts in this post. I think they could make my magazine appeal to both genders and more than one age group.
