  • 1. Magazine Titles Elise Daniels

2. Title 1: 3. Title 1:Title 1s font is Poplar Std, with a text size of 100pt. I have developed the text ina variety of colours so dependant on my background colour, the text willcorrectly stand out. The text also looks better in different colours. Forexample I personally think that DOPE BEATZ , stands out better in thepink colour as its more vibrant and eye catching for people buying themagazine. During the creation of my text I added Drop Shadows, OuterGlows and Inner Glows. By adding these things to my magazine title itenables the text to stand out more and stop it from looking normal andboring. By adding shadows the darkened glow around the edge makes itmore eye catching and adds a type of fade around the edges. This just addsmore creativity and makes the title more interesting. I personal prefer thistitle rather than title 2. I believe its more creative and would suit the genre ofmy magazine. 4. Example of a mini survey I created to gain feedbackWhich text do you find more eye catching and appropriate for a main title of a musicmagazine?(Please tick one box)Title 1Title 2Please state below what you found interesting about your chosen text? e.g. colour,size etc.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________If you could improve the text you have chosen in any other way, what would you do?____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Thankyou for participating in this survey, all your feedback will be taken intoconsideration. 5. Feedback From Title 1:Feedback 1 : The first person I asked to decide which text they found moreappealing for a magazine. This person chose Title 1 over Title 2. This reasonthis person chose this text was based on the fact that it stands out better andthe variety of colours all work well and any would suit a magazine.I received feedback from other people who stated the BEATZ which is italicadds even more creativity to the text rather than just keeping it straight, whichmake it look more simple. 6. Title 2 : 7. Title 2:Title 2 is Gill Sans Ultra Bold, with a size of 73pt in a variety of colours. The textis very simple with drop shadows and inner/outer glows. I used a variety ofcoloured outlines and black drop shadows to help the text to stand out moreon the page. Compared to Title 1 I decided to keep this text more simpleand less complex just to compare the differences. I will then be able to seewhich text people prefer and see which one stands out better on mymagazine. This type of text I believe doesnt stand out as well. The text isvery simple, which can sometimes be positive as simple titles can be moreeye catching. But in my case I think it doesnt match the genre of mymagazine and title 1 may be better.I then decided to ask some people what they thought on Title 2 compared toTitle 1 and find out which one they preferred. 8. Feedback From Title 2:The feedback I gained from Title 2 showed mixed opinions. Once asked manypeople found the text less interesting and if I were to use it on a magazinethey did not find it as eye catching and appropriate for my magazine. Alsopeople found that the colouring on the outline did not work very well. Theysaid if I were to use this text type, then maybe a straight black bold text mayhave been more effective.Although some people found it simply effective and said this text may workwell on my magazine. 9. Outcome -Based on my personal opinion and the feedback I received fromparticipants, I decided that the best text I could use is Title 1. This isbased on the fact that it stands out more,colours work better and it suitsthe genre of my magazine. Also the effect of the BEATZ in italic.Therefore I used this prefered text type from my main title on my coverpage.
