Typography



I need to consider my audience, typography and other factors. I need to decide my theme and background before I can finalize my typography and layout. From research I have realised professional magazines use black, white and grey with a main contrast colour. Contrast colour in my magazine is important because that will be the significance from other magazines so I want to use Gold, this similar to this magazine:

 

 The font style is an importance. I want to use Arial because it is a popular font and it is a general a clearly readable. Font is very important because magazines are all about content and if readers cannot read the content it defeats the purpose. Arial has the appropriate lines and letter strokes to lead people with reading disabilities to next words. I want to style my headlines with a different font than the content to give appeal to readers.

The size of my text will be necessary and medium size 14 and 16.  This is typical magazine size.
