This is my Magazine Typography. Here I have selected multiple music magazine masthead examples and merged them together into a mood board. Most of these fonts are quite easy to read and stand out very clearly such as Vibe, Beat, XXL, Spin, Clash, Q. All of theses fonts are big and bold which makes it a lot easier for readers to see/read and is mostly likely to attract them more where as on the other hand magazines such as 'Kerrang' is a lot more harder to read because of the font and style in which it is presented makes it harder to read straight away. As you can see there are lines that cover the letters and the letter A is also quite hard to read as it is blanked out.
I really like how 'Stoned' magazine is presented as it is bold so you can see it clearly but also slightly blurred which represented the meaning of being stoned. However the blurriness does mess with my eyes but i like that it relates to the text. I also like how 'Rolling Stone' is presented as the font is written in a way where it looks like the text is actually rolling. When I create my music magazine I wish to take inspiration form these as I like the way it links.
The serifs used in 'Choir&Organ' magazine relate to the house style of the magazine as choirs are very neat, organised and do everything in sync and therefore their magazine is quite formal like this too and the serifs help represent this as I believe that serifs show organisation and that it looks quite posh. The font is also quite large, thin and spaced out and all this together also helps show who the target audience is for as the neat representation shows that it would be for an older audience where as if you compare ti to the magazine 'Top of the Pops' the text is quite funky and colourful showing that this is more for a younger audience.
