Often, all that’s needed to create a killer music magazine is unique and inspired typographical elements. There are various examples of both great classic and modern music magazine typography already released by music magazine producers.
Here are seventeen examples of typography which could eventually be used within music magazines. I first began my research by looking at different styles of typography on a general scale before moving it specifically to music magazines. This image allows for different effects and styles to be used rather than just altering the font type. I specifically like the research into typography because most typography’s will include a graphic or altering of the word somehow. I have concluded that is the texts which include graphics that attract the most attention the readers eye. This simple image is one that can be used as a template to the wide variations of typography within the world, which can then later be put forward and concluded with music magazines.
After a brief conclusion of the typography shown above, I went on to carry on with research on specific terminology used in typography, these being the definitions of a typeface, point size, line length and leading. All of which are described below;
Typeface A typeface is an artisitc representation or interpretation of characters. It is simply the way the type looks. Typeface can also be classified as the size of the letter or character of the block type.
Point Size In typography the point is the smallest unit of measure, however it can also be known as the size of the type being used in typography.
Line LengthLine Length is simply the width occupied by a block of typeset text. A block of text or a paragraph has a maximum line length that fits a determined design.
LeadingLeading refers to the distance between the baselines of successive lines of type. Research shows that this term is still used in modern page layout programmes.
