From looking at the font styles on rock magazines, I have found out that the masthead has a unique, house style font that represents the magazine; it is stylish with a slightly aggressive tone due to the genre. The other fonts on the cover have the same type of style as the masthead, but are visibly different. I used another tally, asking 20 people again which one they preferred for the masthead and which one they would choose for the slogan. The others I will use throughout my magazine. I chose these fonts because of their aggressive and 'rocky' style.

Masthead:
Kingdom hearts- ///////// 10- 10 people chose this font, a few reasons for it was that they chose it was that it is 'rocky', 'stylish', 'aggressive' and well suited.
Burgfest- // 2- The 2 that chose this font said that it is a 'cool' font, but not right for a
Party Business- //// 4- "This font looks good." I asked someone who chose it, I also asked someone who chose another one about it. "It's alright and has the right look for the genre, but a few of the letters look odd."
Blade 2- /// 3- "It looks rocky and scary, but it doesn't work as well as the others."
Dotum- 0: This font, I feel is too simple and bland for the magazine.
Gabriola- 0: "It does not have the style that rock magazines hold." Was said by someone who I asked.
Arial Black- 0: This font does not have the 'rocky' look that I am looking for.
Bernard MT Condensed- 0: When I asked why this font wasn't a possibility, it was said that it 'didn't suit the genre'.

Kingdom hearts is the font I will use for the masthead, I then asked the same 20 people about the font for the slogan.

Slogan:
Burgfest- //// 4- The people who chose this said that they liked how it looked against Kingdom hearts.
Party Business-////// 6- One person said "it fits in, matching the masthead."
Blade 2- // 2- "It has too much for it." One person said who chose a different font.
Dotum-// 2- One person said "it looks like it's from a typewriter, it looks cool."
Gabriola- // 2- "It contrasts, I like it".
Arial Black-// 2- "It looks alright against the title, but it looks plain and not original."
Bernard MT Condensed- // 2- When I asked the two people who chose this, they both said that they liked how it suited against the masthead.

I have chose Party Business for the slogan, though the results I got was quite levelled out.
