Possible Fonts




Suggestion 1 - I like this font as it has an urban style which is conventional to the genre I am using. The font is caps lock which means it stands out and this is also a generic convention as many artists and music videos use caps lock for their  name or logo. I would definitely change the colour as black seems quite basic and wouldn't grab the attention of the reader. The style is similar to the idea I have in mind but i don't like the disjointed part of the A and I think that is is fairly basic. Although it is not strictly graffiti I could imagine it printed on a wall in London which is could as the idea of the poorer parts of London is one of the most prominent theme within the genre.


Suggestion 2 - I like this font as it has a graffiti look about it which is extremely conventional and is used in numerous grime music videos. One of the biggest setbacks is the fact that its is an extremely cliche font which means that it wouldn't be a fresh and original idea and instead would just be another conventional music magazine. One positive is that people would be able to tell what genre of music the magazine is representing, as the whole graffiti image has become synonymous with the grime scene and many of its artist. One of the most notable artists to use graffiti in many of his music videos is Kano who uses it also on his album covers and tour posters.
