Art of Music magazine is one of the oldest music magazines in Iran. In 2017, when I started my carrier in Markazi Studio, I became in charge of editorial designing of Art of Music magazine. Although I used to design it in general accordance with the prior uniform, designed by Saeid Forootan-chef designer of Markazi Studio– until February 2018, I had done some changes in the layout of pictures. These changes included simplification of uniform and correction of display typeface for titles in this magazine. ‘Amir Markazi’ typeface was redesigned at that time, for the first time, to write the titles in Art of Music magazine.

At the beginning of the 20th year of establishment of the Magazine in April 2018, it was agreed to use a new uniform for it. It was also required to lower the cost of its production, so our solution was a smaller size for the magazine and monochrome print. Its logo was also redesigned, with the attitude for making it simpler while keeping the base of its structure alive. Typography was used for the cover of the magazine instead of photos. To sum up, here is the timeline of Art of Music magazine design history: number 164-170 old design; number 170-171 new design.
