Magazine titles part II

Here are a few more samples of magazine titles and fonts for my project. I went back to DaFont.com and Fontsquirrel.com but didn't find anything that I missed or looked over the last time. When I found 1001Fonts.com, I was able to find some new fonts that I wanted to try for my masthead. I found a font called Mars Attack, which I think is similar to the font used in the Monsterpalooza masthead, but I'm not sure I will use it. The titles I like are:

• It's All Fun & Games
• Fun & Games Magazine

As for the fonts, I like FineOMite (#2) and Videophreak (#4). FineOMite has a fun look and feel to it. It isn't as readable at a small size but should be fine for a masthead. Videophreak is obviously a video game font, which I think works well for the direction I'm heading (family and games).

Below are 2 mastheads I've been working on tonight. I discovered some dot pattern swatches in the swatches panel, which is what I used for the ampersand in the 1st sample (Basic Graphics_Dots). In the 2nd sample, I used another pattern in the Decorative Modern swatch group called Optical Checkerboard. This was the first time I used this swatch group and I know I'll use it again in other projects. These exact colors may change and I'll experiment more with the 2nd sample's pattern.
