I have went through various fonts and examined different ideas to which I can use for my magazine masthead or font within my front cover, contents page and double page spread. I decided on these kind of fonts as I believe they present the Hip Hop and Rap genre significantly and effectively and doesn't mislead it so that it could be recognized as a different musical genre. All of the fonts are bold, as I knew from my past research that most Hip Hop magazines have bold headlines or mastheads and gives the effect of the whole magazine and the subject of the magazine. Some fonts present a paint or graffiti type look. I chose to consider this as graffiti is in the Hip Hop nature and culture, and using this would allow readers or viewers to guess and notice the genre fairly quickly. Others look quite glamorized, which is significant as in the current Hip Hop era it is generally quite glamorous and fashionable but sticks to the music genre at the same time, therefore having an effective and glam font for a masthead would be effective.
