A little about Typo.

Typography design is becomming more and more common these days and equally as important to all brands, sometimes it is there to tell a story and sometimes because it just looks nice.
Here are a few i've selected from the 25 inspirational typography designs...


We could imply a tagline for the zine and take inspiration from this image and design and layout the words in a similar way as to provide a quirky and edgy look to the zine and provide some interation with the reader as they get to read on a variety of angles to read the full message.


To add an artistic flare to a magazine, inside or on the cover, it could be an idea to crinkle some paper to add some texture and then splat some paint over it before then scanning the final paper into photoshop to apply text and design on top.




Again lying out text at a variety of angles adds interest to the page. An idea taken from this image is we could create an 's' and 'c' created through words summing up the zines essence and what it stands for. I also like how this typography combines an element of illustration within it too, by adding this i find it gives a personalized, hand finished touch the image, which is definitly to be considered when planning the content for our zine.

Experimenting with different opacities against a coloured background is a great idea and change from using different colours, as it keeps the overall selected one colour and provides text around the page in a variety of diferent shades, almost providing a mysterial appearance.




We could create our front cover using the words 'Spring Clean' and using them how they have used 'cut your love' here and arrange them to create a shape which has relevance to our magazine content, perhaps a main feature in the magazine could influence the shape.



A nice touch to have the title of an article featured in the middle of the main article rather than the standard stereotype top.
