Fonts...

Now that I have my title I need to find a font that will link, my music magazine to musical theatre...

These are some of the ones I Thought of using...

1. Riesling Font:

I like this font because I think the fancy style it uses could possibly be linked to music theatre. However I do think it is perhaps to narrow and thin to succeed in drawing attention to my articles title.

2. Star Avenue Font:

I liked this font because unlike the Riesling Font it is much bolder and wider. However I think the actual style the letters appear in looks much more like sci fi text than it does musical theatre and normal music.

3. Showtime Font:

I liked this font because it reminded me alot of a typical broadway style. However I do think that perhaps the lights around it stand out a little bit too much. I want something that is a subtle link to musical theatre, however this font isnt subtle enough.

6. Budmo Jiggler:

I completely love this font, it has the lights incorporated inside of the font so that is has a typical showbiz feel, however it is bold enough and dark enough also incorporate typical magazine title conventions. I have decided this is the font I am going to use for my title as it fits my criteria completely.

Although I am not doing film, I found an advert on youtube, that is actually created by chanel and promoting a chanel product, however it uses the new york skyline at night and it uses the kind of broadway lights I want my magazine title to have. I thought it was a fantastic example and gave me loads of great ideas and showed that the font I have now picked fits in with the broadway feel of New York:

  1. Following our conversation try watching this clip from a tv advert as a general style guide:

    A generic New York landscape, theatricality and a font 'in lights' are all present
