ART PAPERS
“Art Papers is an Atlanta-based
nonprofit organization with an educational mission to provide accessible forums
for documenting, examining, commissioning, and presenting contemporary art and
culture in the world today. 1“
This issue of Art
Papers was published for July/August 2009. It addresses an art-savvy audience,
that has a certain appreciation of aesthetics. As an art magazine, it seeks to
showcase exhibitions and works of studio art through big colorful photos. The
font used is a unbracketed serif font, set in 8pts. The font used is an example
of crystal goblet typography, because it doesn’t demand all the attention.
However, the magazine presents the text as accessory to the images. For this
reason, the font is rather thin and effaced. This magazine exemplifies the
challenges of designing pages with large images, in which the text often must
contort to fit them. For example, the use of three columns of text present a
natural break in the text where images can be put.
