In today's lesson we learnt about 'Typography' I believe its very useful and from this task i think i have developed my skills and now know how certain fonts can fit a magazine style/ethos.

A.
From 'A'we can see that it is pretty basic and the text doesn't match the ethos of urban yet chic of the magazine. It does not stand out and catch my attention therefore it ranks: 4th
B.
Personally, I think that B is quite a good font to use for this magazine. The bold, vibrant text is very fitting for the type of magazine that i believe Vibes would produce. Overall i think this text, with its spaced out lettering, is clear to see and understand therefore it ranks : 2nd
C.
Comic Sans its the text used for C. I strongly believe that this text is very basic and should not be used for as magazine with the ethos that 'Vibes' has. It is very simplistic and does not stand out. It cant been seen from distance and although professional, it does not suit this magazine therefore it ranks: 5th
D.
This font is the worst font on the page in my opinion. It cant be seen from a distance and for a main cover line it is no where near the right text/size. It is too formal for a magazine such as Vibes and does not follow the usual conventions which that magazine would hold. Therefore it ranks:6th
E.
Second to last, This font has to be the best out of the 6. It is bold and stands out it immediately grabs my attention and can see it from a distance. Overall it is the best as it follows the house style and can easily distinguish the text. Therefore it ranks 1st.
F.
This font is not awful but also not great. It is not the first thing to grab my attention but it may be argued that it ok. Overall this font is not ideal for the magazine as it is basic & simplistic
