In today’s lesson we learnt about Typography.
There are two types of Typography: Serif (T) and Sans Serif (T).
Serif has a formal old fashioned style and is often used in magazines for classical music and housekeeping which stereotypically are for an older audience.
Sans Serif has a modern and youthful style. It is often used on magazines such as ‘Kerrang’ and ‘Q magazine’. However virtually all magazines use Sans Serif because it is modern.
The Typography links to the genre of music in some way, e.g. dance music use an individual font to represent how the genre is unique.
This helped us to justify why we had chosen a particular font and to give us a better understanding of the techniques that other magazines use.
