Magazine Typography


This is a mood-board I've created of different music magazine mastheads to look at the different fonts used so I have an idea of what type of font to use for my magazine masthead. A lot of the colour schemes used within these mastheads are either red, black, or white this is because the colours compliment each other and stand out compared to most of the other text on the magazine cover. From looking at the fonts you're able to tell roughly what age group the magazine is targeted at for example the 'Top of the pops' masthead includes graphics i.e. stars and the bright blue colour used whereas 'Q' is quite plain and simple and uses the popular red and white colour scheme which makes it appeal to an older audience. I've chosen to include more than one different genre of magazine in my mood-board as I feel it's important to look at all different music genres to see how their ideas vary.
