Masthead and Font Designs

When choosing fonts, there was some debate as to which one I would use. Originally, I started designing a masthead in the style of the NME masthead, by making the text bold and red and outlining it in white and then black:

However, it was then thought that it didn't look very Pop-Rock, and so I changed it. Initially I went this this text:

It was bold, and the colour of it was taken from the model's lips. It looked ok on the magazine, but I thought that it could look better, and so I changed it again to this:

It seemed a little edgier, and I liked the way that it combined the boldness of the Chaos font I used before, but the sharp edges of the NME text that I used on my first magazine cover. This is the masthead text that I have decided to go with.

I also changed my text to this bolder one when doing my artist name:

I used Photoshop to make the text transparent, because I thought it would be a nice contrast to the bolder font that I'd used in my masthead. I also wanted to use a different for my pull quote, making it a fancy handwritten font, as I feel that emphasizes the fact it's a person saying it.
