Creating My Title

Once I had decided on my magazine name:'VHM' I had to find an appropriate font. To do this I used the website 'dafont', I chose a font called 'PERPETUA TITLING MT' which is almost like 'TIMES NEW ROMAN' however a little bolder, because I liked the sharp yet bold look, i liked the edges of the letters and felt this would be suitable for the type of music magazine I am creating which would be modern yet mature and organised.

This is my title that I am going to use in my magazine. I decided to make it white over a red back-ground so it is bold and stands out and contrasts with the black and white theme of the rest of the front cover. I also added a shadow to make the look have a bigger impact. However depending on the cover photo i finally chose, i may remove the red background and have it transparent to allow the text to neatly over-lay the top of the photo to result in a clean professional look.
