FORTE MUSIC MAGAZINE is a magazine focused on music in the context of a lifelong hobby rather than youth culture. This magazine is designed for adult music enthusiasts between 25–30 years old who enjoy both listening to and playing music.

FORTE means “strong”, referring to a person’s strong suit, or most highly developed characteristic, talent, or skill. We want our readers to have their own “Forte” through music.

In accordance with our magazine’s theme, our design choices reflect music in the context of a lifelong hobby rather than youth culture. Fonts are unified with beautiful serifs such as Georgia and Qranienbaum, and dark-tone range of hues, which avoids flashy shades, are selected to emulate the calm and lofty personality of the brand. These elements connote various styles such as the elegance of high-end pianos or the coolness of vintage guitars.
