These are the four different examples of magazines within the Hip-Hop genre. I want to try and focus on the font styles as there will be a lot of text on the magazine advert that the group and I produce. Text is an important part of the magazine advert as the font style must fit in with the genre and represent it. With the examples above you can see that the fonts used are big and bold.
This gives the magazine a 'hard edge' which many Hip-Hop artists try and achieve.

I have found some examples on Microsoft Word that I felt would be suitable for the design of the magazine advert that my group and I will be creating. All of these font examples have similar characteristics (bold, solid and strong), which fits with the conventions of a Hip-Hop magazine. Because the genre we are working with isn't mainstream and has quite a niche audience, the advert will mainly be viewed within a Hip-Hop styled magazine. And so for this reason our advert must link with the conventions of the entire magazine.
I got some feedback from people so we could come to a conclusion about which font would be most appropriate to use.
Chloe (myself): Personally, I prefer Rockwell and Bold Ariel Black. I think that these two fonts have a powerful and cool feel to them which is what we want our artist (AIM) to represent
Courtney: Elephant, because it's plain and yet still catches your eye.
Leila: Rockwell and Vineta BT - Because I have also looked into Hip-Hop magazine adverts I am aware of the style used and I think Rockwell would look good in a wide range of colours. And it's also quite hard and solid, just like the personality of a gangsta.
Nia: Ariel Black and Bondini MT Black
After looking at the results and the resoning of these, my group and I have decided the the font which is best suited for our own magazine advert is Ariel Black (in bold). This font holds the strong and yet simple style which we are trying to maintain in a visual sense.
