Font Research...
When looking at creating a digipak/magazine cover you need to think about what fonts you would use. Therefore, below show different fonts in which I have researched, explaining how I can use them or why I wouldn't use them...
1.
Font: Papyrus Alternatives
When looking at this font we can see that it has this fancy type of style to it. In my opinion it kind of looks like a font you could use for a logo or a title of magazine and in this case a CD/Digipak.
When looking at this font I like the look of this because it has this handwriting effect making it seem like this fancy, stylish type of design. However what I dislike about this font is that you are limited in ways of using it as you would need to make sure it fitted your purpose to use it and it would need to suit your purpose to.
I think this suits within my genre of "Pop" becasue it looks like this fancy text and pop can be many creative styles and I belive this is one. However, this font suits more with my artist "Ella Henderson" as she has a vintage style of personality and in my opinion this style fits her character and could be a perfect font for her digipak/magazine/title.
However, I have seen this font before as it looks similar to the Printrest logo.

Font: FF Market
When looking at this font it looks very fancy and has this olden day handwritig style to it. I like the use of this font as I tested it out using the artists name "Ella Henderson" to see what it would look like and when looking at this is gives out that vintage personality in which the artist has and that makes me like this font as a design to use, it also helps match with the pop genre as it still looks stylish and funky as well as being this old fashioned type of style that would best suit my artist. However, when looking at some of Ella Henderson's CD cases, this style is similar to what she is currently using and this is how this gave me the idea of looking for fonts like this one. Therefore I like this one and I believe that I have any dislikes about this font, when researching a font like this I did see many fonts similar to this one only many artists designs. I belive that this would be a suitable font design to use.

Font: Dots
When looking at this font it kind of looks very stylish and looks similar to a design of studio lights.
The reason in why I like this font is becasue as said before it looks like studio lights and within my chosen song "Lights" she is seen singing in a blacked out studio with lights and this font reminds me of those. The only reason why I possibly wouldn't like this font is becasue depending on the spaces between the dots, it may be hard to read what you use this font with.
I belive that this would match my genre of "Pop" because it the studio lights are seen as main features for many artists, meaning this would go well with any design and my artist to as like I said before she sings within a studio and that type of location would match the paste in my song.
However, I havent seen this type of font used before many times so using this could be more of a unique use of font as I wouldnt say it is used much as I havent seen it before.
