Magazine Typography

The mood board clearly shows a variety of fonts, sizes and colours used in various music magazine mastheads. From the moodboard we can see the consistency of the three colours used; black, white and red. These colours are mainly used for music magazines with genres of RnB and Rock, however, for the pop magazines, more bright and vibrant colours are used. From these colours, we are able to make out who the target audience for the magazine is. For example, the ‘top of the pops’ logo uses the colours pink and yellow, suggesting that it is aimed at young girls. There are also many different styles of fonts used for various music magazines.  They are mainly big and bold, which make them stand out and easy to read. For my pop music magazine, I am considering to use bright colours to attract the reader as well as my target audience. The font will be bold and quite girly, as I will be using swirly fonts and colours like, pink and purple. However, I am planning to research more pop magazines, to get a better understanding of what pop magazine mastheads are like, and how I can make my masthead look unique, yet professional.
