Fonts

I have used different fonts for the 3 different pages. For the title and some of the main sells on my front cover I have used 'Franklin Gothic Heavy' and 'Arial' font which fall into the Sans Serif Typeface category. Its role is to make the text eye-catching.
For my contents page I have used Sans Serif Typeface fonts except from the text under the picture of the girls band on the left side. Serif Typeface fonts have little lines on the top and bottom of the world and increase the readability of body copy( small texts and captions for photographs in this case).
For the double page spread I have used 'Trebuchet MS' font which is classified as Serif Typeface. It helps the reader follow the text without distractions as serifs function to draw the eye to the next letter of the world. The pull quote I have put on the second page of my double page spread is written in Sans Serif Typeface so it can catch the reader's attention who will then want to read the article.
