Title Image/Logo Decisions

After experimenting further with my previous Typography designs, I have decided on which font, colouring and overall layout I would like to use. In the screen shot below, you can see that I have used InDesign to continue my designs further and show my process of thinking as I designed.

I used an image of the South Downs College logo to inspire my designs, using the green and blue colours predominantly. I am doing this to relate the college magazine directly to South Downs College and its students who are more than familiar with the college logo.

I have decided to use a font that is quirky, easy to red but has a young, fresh looking style of its own. It appears to be slightly graffiti-like and can appeal to both genders of students, which fits to my initial ideas. Also, it has individual characters which are different to the rest, showing individuality and also it makes it eye-catching.
After deciding on what font and colourings, I decided to experiment with the arrangement of the two words 'choice' and 'magazine' in order to create an effective logo. I used a rectangle shape and drop shadowing to see which arrangement looked best. I am pleased with these designs and will go on to make a final decision when I create the Magazine front cover.
