InDesign tutorial: Magazine layout (DTP POSTER)


This is my cover, I kept the cover looking minimalistic by not adding too much information which would overcrowd the magazine. I used AVENIR ULTRALIGHT as my font I felt that the thin style of the font offered a more simplistic value which I wanted to add into my magazine cover.


I also made some double page spreads, I tried to focus on where the font would be situated. I aligned the text so that each paragraph was the same size and length this made the layout more pleasing and overall made the layout of the text and the whole page loo more professional.


In this instance, I used a white text which I was happy with. However, the white font was not clear to see on this background I used, I had a number of choices because of this. I could change the image to match the colour of the font, change the colour of the font to match the image or use the rectangle tool to create a separate background for my font to sit on.


I am happiest with the layout of the text on this page and how I have used long paragraphs and short paragraphs which I think creates interest.
