Designs of a Magazine

    Designing a magazine is one of the more crucial aspects of magazine building that can make or break sales. The A B C rule, is a common rule utilized by the designers of the most creative magazine covers. Begin with  A-heading (the magazine title), one strong (B) sub-heading (pulling out one article to be the main focus), and a larger selection of smaller (C) sub-headings. These headings should be paired with a strong, simple photograph and areas of white space so you can have a both pleasant and bold look to the spread. Photos must almost ‘interact’ with typography creating a cool magazine cover that appears more 3D, and gives the impression that the photo is jumping out at you.

    Teaming a single strong color with black-and-white photography and monochrome text looks fantastic for men’s magazines and technology titles. This color is usually bright like a red or yellow with bright typography, banners, and dividers to layouts. These simple splashes can achieve a whole design of the magazine together with elegance and spunk.  If content is massive it's best to spread this onto more than one page—branch out into a full two-page spread. A table of contents magazine spreads will be structured on some sort of grid layout, but it certainly doesn’t need to be dull or limited from creativity.

    National Geographic and Esquire utilize infographics to illustrate articles in a more exciting, tech-forward way. Many magazines don’t utilize traditional text-heavy article layouts but a more interactive and engaging print layout.
