I think that the most effective font used on these covers is the one used on cover F. I think this because it has clarity and is simple and straight- forward, so therefore gets to the point. This is ideal for a magazine cover as it isn't over the top and is clear, and so sends a sophisticated message to it's readers and viewers.
I think that cover C has the least effective font as it is childish and looks silly and can be patronising to the reader, as it could send a negative message as the reader may think that the magazine is saying they are immature.
I also think that the font used on cover D is not very effective as it is very small and isn't clear. It is also very over the top so makes it too in your face.
I also find cover B quite effective as the bold capitals makes it has clarity and can compliment the main photo as it has a mechanical look to it.
I like the font used on cover E as it is very clear, but I don't like it as I feel that the font is too blocked, so doesn't look as simple and nice.
Cover A also has an ok font as it is clear but it is a boring font that would usually be used to write essays, so doesn't meet the expectations of a magazine and might put people off.
This task is helpful in helping me plan my magazine as it allows me to explore the what the best kind of fonts are to use and what grabs an audience best. It also helps me to see how a font can attract a certain demographic as fonts, such as the one used on cover c, would appeal more to a child than an adult, where as, the font used on cover F would appeal more to an adult audience as it is more mature.
