Font
In order to create a successful newspaper I wanted to ensure that everything on my newspaper reflected my target audience. This included my font. I explored different fonts and my first choice was the font 'Broadway'. I liked how the font wasn't typical of font used in a newspaper. I also thought that it was simple but bold. However I was given feedback on my choice of font and they stated that the font is usually associated with theatre work.
I then decided to explore more fonts and across the commonly used 'Times New Roman'. I really liked this font as I thought it was simple and also common. Having said that, I don't like the fact that it used numerously for different things. It also doesn't stand out as being different from other newspapers.
I explored more fonts and even had a look at a website,
http://www.dafont.com . I made a table of the fonts that I liked and disliked and eventually this allowed me to narrow down what I wanted my font to look like. I wanted my font to be big, bold and to have a youthful vibe. I then found the font 'Wanted MS4'. This font reminded me of font used in America at sporting games and on sporting attire. I decided that this would be the font I would use for my newspaper.
