Anchorage Text

Planning the anchorage text is important because I need to make sure that it fits in with the style of the cover and isn't too much of a strong contrast form other text on the cover.
This is what my final choice for my anchorage text looks like:

I am very pleased with the look of my anchorage text now that it is finished. I chose to incorporate two different styles of font because it fits in with the style of my magazine as it doesn't follow the normal conventions that would be seen on other music magazines. Both of the fonts follow the same times new Roman style however one of the styles is the original plain font and the other shows a distressed and distorted effect. Throughout my magazine there are distressed and distorted effects on different font styles and in other elements of the magazine. Therefore I knew that it was important to include this style of font in the anchorage text as it is something that stands out in a very bold way on the cover. However I was careful not to overuse this style of font as I think this would represent a rock magazine and the elements of indie would be over shadowed. So I decided to balance out the strong rock style of font with using the plain times new Roman font. I think this simple font is very effective and its simplicity is something that represents the indie side to magazine so overall a good balance is create by both styles of font.
