The Face Magazine

The Face magazine was a magazine that run from 1980 till 2004. Neville Brody was the typographer and graphic designer of The Face Magazine. He is also known for his work on CD covers and posters in typography. The magazine is a fashion, music and youth culture magazine. I think when I look at Brody's covers this can be seen, the cover up above is a example of this and as is the cover below. He uses colors well as in these pictures we can see he has stuck to red which matches the lips. He commonly uses a portrait of the model/singer etc. in his work.


This other magazine is of show how each cover is individual and bold, like the text in the one below on the side of the magazine cover. Like a lot of magazine covers he uses a lot of text on the page which gives the reader an insight into what is inside of the magazine. He keeps the magazine looking modern and I liker how he uses the triangle in the text. The text I feel shows the exact style he is going for. When I see his magazine covers I think the 80s, as he worked from 1981 till 1986 and that is visible in his magazine covers with its outlandish styles.
