Fonts for my Masthead

When choosing a font for my masthead, the name of my magazine  'Riot', I decided to use 'DaFont.com' which came up with a selection of 'Punk fonts' as shown here ------->

This is my favourite of the chosen fonts, it is similar to the 'Sex Pistols  logo font as it has the white writing on the black background and visually it looks similar to newspaper cut outs. I like this font as it is not perfectly structured, the letters are presented at different angles, I like this as it could be used to represent the genre of punk rock music as it pushes the boundrys of writing as it is not straight and every letter is different, just like punk rock music is different and can be seen as pushing boundrys.

This font is my Seccond favourite, I like the way the R is presented differently to the rest of the letters and how the letters are scruffy and it looks disorganised, this also reflects the genre. The R on its own would be useful for branding as it could feature on the corner of everypage, however I could still adapt this idea using the top font.


This is the least favourite of my chosen fonts simply becasue I dont think its approprite as a masthead as it is not clear and the o looks like an a, which can make it slightly confusing. Although I do like the front in some ways as I like the shapes of the letters and they seem distorted, which looks effective however I dont think it is idea for a masthead that should be clear, bold and easy to read.
