Today's work (Deciding on fonts and Colours)

Whilst starting my magazine front cover I have decided to firstly use the plan I have made for front cover. I used the title 'Anthem' as it spans the top of the page nicely and I have increased the height of the font. The Font is 'Elephant' which is quite old school classic cinema style. I have decided to continue using this font throughout some of my texts lower on the page for example in the text 'Plan B', 'Lana Del Ray' and 'Coldplay'. I have used a different font for other features which works well together with Elephant. This font is Berlin MT condensed. 

I have decided to continue using the idea of the font written in the same colour as the lipstick to appear as if the artist has written the text herself across the front page. For this handwriting styled text I have used 'Christopherhand' which was downloaded from dafont.com in order to create this handwritten effect. I used a red colour to adapt to the lipstick and I am also going to use this red colour during my whole magazine. I chose the red colour to reflect on the fact that her name is 'Scarlett' and I am interpretting NME magazine which uses the main title as a primary red colour. I have used inspiration from Q magazine as the bold red is used throughout for example in the magazine to the left they have featured Red for the quote above the headline, the classic Q title and the Free exclusive posters plug. 
I have used the typical Black and white contrasting colours as well as an unusual navy which works well with the contrasting red and therefore highlights the name used for the artist. 
I chose the last name of Hudson as it works well with Scarlett and is not too crazy to be over the top.
