When discussing the genre of my magazine I knew I had to make the name of the magazine reflective of the music industry and particularly suited regarding typography. I visited the website 'DaFont.com' and found various styles that I could use to make the name (RPM) seem professional and eye-catching whilst suiting the genre.
Below, I have shown six fonts which caught my eye when looking through the website. I feel like they are reflective of the indie genre as they are unique and alternative, much like my chosen genre:
I like all of these fonts however I think a few of them are impractical. The top right style of 'RPM' is not clear as the R is reversed which makes it difficult to read, especially when there is an array of colours and other distracting words featuring on the front page. Also the bottom left choice of style is unclear as the letters are warped and amongst other colours it could be difficult to decipher.
In light of this, I deleted these two options from my list and put the rest on my Twitter account to see what other people thought of my choices.
Social Media Response:
As shown above, everyone who replied chose the first or second option (top left and top right of the Twitter choices). This means the last two are being disregarded and will not be used for the name of my magazine. After looking through the options again I decided that my favourite option is the first one (top left) because it is clear, bold, eye-catching and is unique to my magazine. However, I will not be using this exact font because I want to make my own that I will be able to make specific to my magazine. I did this social media response work to see which font people thought looked best, in order for me to be inspired by it and base the font I will make on the design of this font. I will later show how I create my font but below I have shown the font I will be inspired by:
