Main Task: Front Cover - Text

For the text on my front cover, I used a variation of Plantagent Cherokee, Perpetua, and Perpetua Tiling in different sizes and colours. I used these fonts as they blended well together, while also creating a no-nonsense attitude to my magazine as the font stands out, is bold and is demanding. It dominates the page of the magazine which defies the usual conventions as it's normally the images that create the most attention.

Most of the text has a stroke effect which gives the text a bold outline. For the most part the outline was black to make it stand out against the dark background of the magazine, but in one instance it was white.


This was to create a contrast within the same sub-headline


Other times I used a black outline against coloured text, again to make it bold and stand out. The colours also were used to stand out. With the above, it was to fit with the band logo, and with 'Jellyfish Cult' it was to give attention to the band as it was the only text in red.
