The Importance of the Layout

The Cover

Creating the front cover of a magazine is important to the interest of the audience in the magazine. They attract attention to the main articles through the layout. Often having a well-known celebrity on the cover, magazines will use specific colours and layout to intrigue a reader to purchase the product, but also gain more information into the topic they originally set out to read.

Each aspect of a front cover design is key to it's effectiveness. I have also found a tutorial (link) on how to create an engaging cover for the article I will create.

The aesthetics of a magazine is equally important as the content inside. The cover is the first impression the reader has of the quality of the journalism inside, so it is vital that this reflects the level of professionalism of the writing.
