Typography

From doing this task I have been able to learn about what fonts would be most appropriate for my magazine. I looked at the size of the font and how bold it is. The different types of fonts can have different impacts as they represent different things and they relate to my genre. 

Drop caps often feature at the beginning of an article to draw your eye to it, they are 'dropped' in at the start, often taking up three to four lines of text. It is always the first letter of the first word that is 'dropped' in. It also indicates to the reader where to start.

Colour and Sizes

The colour and the size of the font is very important on a magazine page. It can determine how successful the magazine is. The fonts can attract people to the magazine because of the way that it stands out against the rest of the page. I am planning to use colours such as black, grey and white for my text. This is because it will contrast with the background and it. These colour schemes will also reflect the genre of music and it will be represented in the correct way.
