Try an acid yellow or hot orange for an optimistic color pop that looks great on extreme sports titles and travel magazines. It’s simple to achieve and is a great way of bringing the whole design of the magazine together (see Tip 9, below, about promoting a style theme in your designs).
Bright typography, banners, and dividers lend a sporty, masculine edge to layouts. Teaming a single strong color with black-and-white photography and monochrome text looks fantastic for men’s magazines and technology titles. Some of the most effective magazine designs use color very sparingly, proving that a simple pop of bold color can be more striking than a palette of rainbow brights. This is one of the easiest magazine tips. A Single Pop of Color Shouts the Loudest! Check out this tutorial on how to create a magazine cover in Adobe InDesign and Photoshop that uses this effect:Ģ. Cut the subject of the photo away from the background, and layer them so that parts of the subject are brought in front of text and others behind.
You can find many InDesign magazine templates that have bold covers like Arigat.Īllowing photos to ‘interact’ with typography is also a great way of making cool magazine covers appear more 3D and giving the impression that the photo is jumping out at you. Look to slab and display typefaces set in uppercase characters in shades of brilliant white, as in this stylish InDesign magazine template called Arigat, to make text pop against a full-color photo. Stick with black-and-white photography for a strong look that still looks balanced and stylish. Pair these headings with a strong, simple photograph and areas of white space (where you place no busy text or images), and you have a layout that’s both pleasant to look at and graphically very bold. Almost every magazine cover uses this rule to promote balance in the layout. Stick to one A-heading (the magazine title), one strong (B) sub-heading (pulling out one article to be the main focus), and a larger selection of smaller (C) sub-headings.
Try sticking to the A B C rule, which is used by the designers of the most creative magazine covers.
