Fonts
After much deliberation and research into hip-hop terminology, I have decided my magazine shall be called 'BeatZ'. The name is catchy and interesting, and also stays true to the nature of the genre (hip-hop). In music, especially hip-hop, the beat is a key element of a song, without which the song would be structureless and lacking in speed and mood. Therefore, the title 'BeatZ' for my magazine infers that it is a fundamental part of the music industry - finding and supporting new talent - much like the beats are fundamental to hip-hop music.
Possible fonts for my magazine masthead.
As a hip-hop magazine, i wish 'BeatZ' to retain some hip-hop qualities, even though it is a magazine primarily for new unsigned talent. One such hip-hop quality, i feel, can be contained within the font of the masthead, if chosen carefully. To keep the magazine's style close to it's roots, I decided to investigate Old School fonts to see if any would be suitable.
Above are my findings, along with other fonts which caught my eye. I used http://www.dafont.com/ as inspiration, and hope to adapt and personalise fonts which follow one of the styles shown above.
