LAYOUT IDEAS

This is effective layout for multiple reasons. This front cover in particular does not include most of the features you would see on a magazine cover. The main thing that stands out in this is the image and the masthead. I think this is a good way to layout an indie magazine for multiple reasons. This is because it is very simple but it does not mean it is boring or dull. There is also another title placed at the bottom right of the magazine. The less writing there is the more it stands out because the magazine is not overpowering or overwhelming to the reader which is important.

I like how they title is placed in the center and that it is large because it stands out the most. Again it is simple looking but still effective and can easily intrigue the reader to want to buy the magazine. .

The layout of this double page spread is also very effective. The fact that there isn’t a lot of writing again shows how contemporary the magazine is. The picture on the right also takes up the whole page which isn’t usual for a magazine. The features on this page are very spaced out which gives it that modern look. The image also contrasts well with the page next to it on the left because it allows each page to stand out.
