magazine TIPS

When designing a magazine:

1. Always have a Masthead, your headline, the first thing that a person will look at when looking at your magazine

2. Be consistant with your cover design and format, so that anytime someone looks at your magazine, it will have a consistant design

3. Decide on one focus and attempt to elaborate and make it more than it is

4. learn how to use color and contrast, when having different colors, you want to make sure that you have a photo and make sure that your colors go along not only with you rphoto but with your brand

5. Avoid busy backgrounds, you do not want something super busy compared to something not so busy, and make sure that everything is balanced so that your cover is not too cluttered.
