I am doing a Hair Style magazine. With the cover being a girl with colored hair very big compared to the text size. This magazine is going to be featuring girls with colored hair or colored extensions. Everything is going to be very bright and on plane matt paper. All the photos are going to be super-sized almost off the page. Going to be playful with the text and make it either shape lines or flowy lettering. This is going to be a magazine that you would buy at a stand but I’m going to make the front paper a little bit cleaner with least text. Still making the cover page pop so people will want to read.

First magazine parts are a newsletter, feature wells, and back pages. The newsletter is letters to the editor or newsletters a very structured front page. The feature wells are more flexible with style and design. The layout on a grid is done nicely 1 up to 4 column grid. Different fonts use for the title but the same font for body texts while keeping it balanced. make sure theirs a resting place for the eyes. To play with texted uses headlines, body copy, pull quotes, or kickers. You can be really creative. The back page is normally more structured also has a title and 1 or multiple images. image treatment can be size, cutouts, subheads in color giving it a pop. Imagery is very important. Theirs also different parts of a story like headlines, subheads, bylines, and credits, pull quotes, captions, sidebar, infographics.

Cover pages for magazines need to be visually effective. They normally have a huge task like design style, new readers, and character and content. color is important too needs to bring the audience’s attention and they need to have some sort of reaction. the covers can be figurative or abstract. Figurative means images and color patterns. Abstract means movement, a lot going on, illustrated approached like a poster. Text-based covers are all text working with size, font, and color. Newspapers are more dynamic now like magazines it used to be a lot of text. Now it has images, text, color, and white spaces. newspapers also have at least two stories going on.

Editorial design forms are like magazines, cover letters, books, newspapers and a lot more. The goal of the audience is to entertain, inform, interduce, or tell a story. We are trying to get the audience to turn the page. There are visual images and words when it comes to Editorial design. Consumer magazines like Vogue have images and words. Workers for design are normally, design editor, image editor, and editorial editor. Design editor is the way the layout is formed, the image editor just works with the images, the editorial editor only works with type language.
