Rewind

RewindRewindRewind

I have looked at various fonts and have narrowed down my

four favourites, when I come to the point of laying out my

magazine cover I will choose which title fits best with the other

cover features. I chose the name ‘rewind’ as it can be

associated directly with music, but also with life in general –

linking to the idea of rewinding time; this is used in fashion all

the time, the idea of things coming back in fashion and

looking as if we’ve gone back in time. This discretely shows

that my magazine is linked to music and fashion.

Originally I wanted my title to look handwritten, however after

looking at the fonts available I like the retro style fonts, for

example the second one on this page is an American-retro

style. I have a strong interest in magazines and the

fashion/music combination, I believe this title links the two well

and also ties in my personal dream of America.

The title font colour will be white on my front cover as the

image will take up two thirds or more of the page and as white

is a neutral colour it will stand out against the colours in the

picture (examples on the left – ELLE and Vogue). The size of

the title will stretch across the top band of the magazine, as

seen on Vogue, ELLE and Marie-Claire; I believe this creates

the most eye-catching form of title for a music magazine.
