FONTS .........

CAN  U PLEASE HELP ME CHOOSE WHICH FONT SHOUD I USE FOR MY MUSIC MAGAZINE COVER......

     (A )                          ( B)

Just the look.......;)

 FOR THE COVER PAGE I'D LIKE TO FOCUS ON THE MAIN IMAGE OF THE ARTIST SO I MAY USE A WHITE OR PLAIN BACKGROUND  AND AS FOR THE CONTENT PAGE I'D LIKE IT TO BE BALANCE BETWEEN PICTURES AND TEXT TO MAKE IT LOOK ORGANISE BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT FILLS UP ALL THE SPACES TO MAKE IT WORTH BUYING
FOR  THE DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD I WANT TO MAKE IT ALL ABOUT THE ARTIST FROM THE FRONT COVER  PICTURES AND AN INTERVIEW ABOUT HERSELF WOULD FILL IN THE ENTIRE DOUBLE PAGE.AS FOR THE BACKGROUND  I'D LIKE TO HAVE VERY NATURAL SCENERY TO GIVE IT A  STORY LIKE LOOK........
