Names:
Other psychedelic magazines included names such as "Kaliedoscope", "Interstellar Overdrive" and "Ugly Things", which are quite alternative, somewhat strange titles; so I have chosen to go with similarly strange names.
- Psychedelia
- Hippy
- Magic/Magick/Magik
- Hippy Magic
- Joy (haha ayy)
- Peace
- Yin-Yang
- Shroomery
Bright, colourful fonts were used in the majority of magazines similar to my genre. Some of these were accompanied by gradients and patterns. The colours used were mostly rainbow or white against a colourful background.
Fonts:
Most fonts used quite close tracking, along with a wavey, carefree, artsy style; a very 1970's look.
- Victor Moscoso Regular
- Psychedelic HM
- Cheshire Initials
- KR Shroom
- Hobo Std
- Rosewood Std
After some evaluation of my decisions, I decided it would be appropriate for the artsy genre of my magazine to hand draw the masthead, instead of having a fixed font that prevents the creativity I want my magazine to portray. Fonts are a barrier to our imagination and a subconscious metaphor for not revolting against the bourgeoisie, man.
This resulted in me sketching some ideas on paper and scanning them into Photoshop, with the intent of editing them and making them look exciting and colourful.
