F8. Music Magazine: Front Cover Font tools

Below are images and explanations of all the different tools I used within my font research to create an appropriate font.

Swatches tool allows me to create images by using a colour mixer or creating colours by picking them up of off the image. This is the tool I used for all the colour.

The stroke tool controls the stroke of text and boxes. The stroke is the line which outlines each shape. I was able to increase and decrease the weight and style of the strokes by using this tool.

Above is the colour tool which enables anyone to control the colour of the fill and the stroke of all text and shapes. It also allows you to remove colour from the fill and stroke. A colour can be created on the swatches and brought onto here, the colour can then be slightly edited and placed somewhere via this tool.

This is the character tool which is the tool I used the most while creating different text styles. This application allows me to change the font, style, sway, width, length and positioning. I used this tool greatly while I was creating fonts.
