25/03/12 - Font research for magazine cover
As I'll have to make a magazine front cover that links into my film trailer, I thought it would be useful to do some font research on other magazine covers. This will help me establish the norm for the titles, allowing me to follow the conventions so that it may be more attractive to my target audience. I have printscreened the titles for magazines, 'Empire' and 'Film Ink'. 
Both have block and bold prints, and use one colour of two, unless they are trying to link the title to the movie. For example, one of the titles for 'Empire' is bright blue to link in with the feature, which is the Iron Man 2 movie. This is a technique I will use when creating my own magazine front cover, as linking the title to the main feature could grab the readers attention more.
