This document analyzes different typography options for a music magazine. It evaluates various fonts and colors on criteria like formality, modernity, readability and suitability for things like titles, headings and articles. Some fonts are deemed too formal or indistinct, while others are suggested as good options for a masthead, headings or main article text based on appearing casual, colorful, stylistic or easily readable. The document considers how different typography choices could match the energy of electronic music or add professionalism to an artist profile.

1. Typography Analysis
Music Magazine Ideas Although this font looks rather
simplistic over a white
background, the font itself is
formal and appropriate,
meaning I’m able to use it
effectively for titles and
headings.
The colour Red
connotes love and lust
and doesn’t quite
reflect the kind of
energy and emotions
you would expect at a
house music concert or
gig. For this reason I
doubt I would be
including this colour.
This font looks formal,
yet outdated. I’m
looking for a modern
that parallels the new
electronic music of
today.
You may expect to see this
colour at an electronic music
gig or festival in strobe lights,
lasers, etc. This would therefor
be a valid choice for me.
Another factor I have to consider
when choosing the colour of
fonts is the background I select
and whether the colours contrast
or blend.
This font is casual and
informal and would
be ideal for my
format.
Although this font is
formal, it would still
pass off as a font I
would consider due
to the fact that it
would still work well
with what I would be
producing.

2. Typography Analysis
Music Magazine Ideas This text is colourful
and could be
appropriate to use as
a masthead or
heading.
I could alternate between
colours in order to match the
kind of colours that my
magazine’s format is based
around. For example, for
electronic music I could use
the colour blue or yellow to
connote electricity or energy.
This font could be
described as difficult to
distinguish and therefor
wouldn’t be appropriate
for me to include in my
magazine.
However, this is a stylistic
way of presenting the text
and could be appropriate
and appreciated by an
artistic audience.
This kind of font appears too
formal to be used in a music
magazine. But on the other
hand, as a heading that
introduces or presents an artist
could add an element of
formality or professionalism to
the artists persona.
This font proves ideal for
the main text you would
expect from an article.
The font is easily
distinguishable and
appears casual, perfect
for an interview article
or anything of a similar
format.

3. Typography Analysis
Music Magazine Ideas Although this font is
rather formal, the
coloured pattern
adds an artistic
element to it which
makes It appear
casual.
I believe this would
be an appropriate
font and
colour/pattern I
could use for a
heading introducing
an artist perhaps on
my front cover.
Adding a smooth
colour pattern to the
background of this
font allows it to
appear stylistic and
effective.
I would consider using
a font similar to this as
my masthead.
This font could appear
on headings amongst
a white background
and be easily
distinguishable. This is
good because the
average reader will be
able to recognise
articles from a
distance
This font could
also be a good
choice for
headings because
of how defined it
is and proves
effective.
