minimal / Folio
Magazine-style lyric video
Folio treats a line like a pull quote. Your cover becomes part of a magazine spread, with a clear hierarchy between the words and the picture.
A song in pages
Section changes turn the page; the chorus gets a wider editorial treatment. The result works well when a line can hold your attention without needing to explode into the frame. Duotone artwork keeps a photographic cover tied to the typography.
Designed at a readable scale
Folio offers a restrained size range. Its smaller and medium layouts preserve the relationship between the lyric, the page furniture and the cover. Use the available choices rather than expecting every style to offer huge type.
Try the cover at phone size
Small details can disappear in a portrait crop. Check that the lyric still has a quiet area behind it, and choose a clip whose line lengths suit the narrower page.
