TITLES

Titles are important on a magazine and a good variety of interesting titles is good to have in your magazine. I have tried to do this and have included these titles for my contents and front cover pages.
First I looked at titles for my contents title, I found this hard because you have to make sure it connected to your front cover as well as fitting well on the page but making it still look attractive.




My final choice for my contents title was this one, but I edited the background and colour to it to make it stand out on the page more. 
Then I looked at titles for my Featured title that would be on my contents page indicating the section where what was in the magazine would be seen.


I found choosing this title slightly easier as it was just a tiny feature on the contents page and could be an easy and simple text that everyone could find easy to read.
Then I had to find titles for the odd titles. I found a title for my made up band easily and found it a simple but slightly more girly title as the bands main singer was a girl it showed the femininity of the band. 
Then found the title that would indicate the section of information for where you could contact the magazine or follow the magazine online such as facebook and twitter.
Then I thought that to make my genre a little more obvious I would add an extra title to the end of my NEWSOUND name. Adding TOP40 UK indicates that the magazine is in connection with the UK TOP40 charts, which is a high indication to modern music, so that my audience know what kind of magazine they are about to buy.
This is my TOP40UK title that is situated at the end just under my NewSound title.

So as you can see I have tried to have a variety of different fonts, to make my magazine visually interesting.

Here I have tried to show the variety of titles I looked at before choosing the title I felt was right for my magazine and right for the image I am trying to create for my magazine and the genre. Texts are a key factor of a magazine it magazine is print and print is texts. Having interesting and a variety of different texts means that my readers are continuously interested. But I have included too many different texts as the recommended is around 3-4 different styles of texts, this means that you don't lose the image of your magazine by having too many different styles taking over the magazine and its style. A certain text style can be associated with a magazine, so keeping with the styles can help the audience remember the magazine.
