OCR A is the font which I shall be using for articles in the magazine. This is becaus it has a bold and eye capturing appearance, while at the same time easy to read. The font also looks similiar to the type of fonts which are in skateboard brands, which attracts the target audience who are likely to enjoy reading words in those types of fonts. The font also gives words a technical feel, which suits the content since the magazine will often explain the technical side of peforming on a skateboard or a BMX.
Heroes Assembled is a font which shall be used for the mast head (edited on photoshop in order to give it a moving appearance) and will also be used for smaller titles on pages like the front cover and the contents page.
Here is the font after it has been edited in Photoshop, the warp tool was used in order to create the impression that the title is moving, it also creates the impression that the title is a ramp for skaters and BMXers to use.
The main colours that will be used are red, black, yellow and white. The colour red will be used for titles that are the most important, for example the Mast-Head and the names of people who are interviewed. The colour will be used to represent the brutal injuries which can occur in the sport. The colour black will mainly be used as a canvas for titles to fit on, since that is the format that is used on magazines like thrasher. The colour white will be used for some titles which aren't very important, however will mostly be used for the text in the magazine. The colour yellow will ocassionally be used for smaller titles however will mostly be used for the introduction of articles and for the editors note.
