Font/masthead/typography analysis

Font/masthead typography analysis:


Music Magazine Mastheads by Slidely Slideshow






'Q' magazine has this large white 'Q' with the red background and it represents the magazine of 'Q'. It is present on almost every single page of the magazine and the colour scheme of red and white are used also throughout the magazine. The writing is a serif font due to the flick on the Q etc. 







'NME' have a very similar masthead to that of 'Q' magazine with white writing and a red background. The writing is what looks like an ARIAL font because it is more rectangular and it is in block capitals to make it stand out.






Here is the 'Kerrang' masthead and as you can see the writing is white with a black background. The writing is a special type of font which looks quite rough giving the impression that Kerrang is more of a rock music magazine. The exclamation mark also emphasises this.




Here is the 'Vibe' masthead and as you can see the writing is black which is uncommon for music magazines because as you can see from above all the other mastheads are white writing. The font for the 'vibe' logo seems to be a more vibrant font which is similar to the magazine itself.
