Magazine Layouts: What Not to Do!

      http://webdev-il.blogspot.com/2011/07/examples-of-bad-magazine-layout.html 



One major thing to watch out for is too many fonts on a layout. This page isn't designed well because there are too many fonts going on in the design, you want three fonts only. Its good to have font variation but not too much that its overwhelming. This two page spread can be easily fixed by better fonts choices. You want to have a font or fonts that compliment the page and work well together.  Fonts that clash create too much tension on the page.

             


  I have found out some information on the Do's and Don'ts of  Magazine layouts form a website.Things to remember when designing a magazine spread is the alignments, the colors, the images on the page, the font styles, and the edges of text. Take your spacing with type for example, the rivers of whitespace within the paragraph can cause a problem for the layout. The hyphenated and ragged edges in the paragraph can mess up the alignment of the text as well. You don't wont the type to throw off the design of the magazine spread and ruin the layout.
