Research on Font

I decided that the fonts i was using on the front cover which including Constantia and Ebrima didn't look quite right for the front page of a magazine.
I looked up on the internet and found that Could be Superla-Black, CC Up And Away, Ariergard Rondo Heavy, English Black, Humanist 521 are all commerical fonts.

I am still using Eras Demi ITC as the main font for my contents page but the side bar which includes the 12 new bands will be Arial, this is so the design still links to the front cover. Using different types of font is also a good idea so the reader will not get bored of looking at the same thing.


The size of the font on the front page (information from inside etc) varies from 16pt to 17pt.
I have also added a drop shadow and an outer glow to make it more readable for the target audience. I then changed the Gamma levels and changed the colour slightly so that there wasn't such a dark shadow under her left eye. The difference is shown below:
