1. Check your font usage – Ensure fonts are used consistently throughout the magazine – avoid using too many styles and for readability, make white text on dark backgrounds bolder.
2. Use a grid system – Make sure there is structure and balance across all pages.
3. Use high quality imagery – Images are powerful storytellers make them stand out and on some pages you can make use of them across a whole page or DPS with text overlays!
4. Bold cover design – The front cover is your readers first impression so make sure it is bold and catches attention. You could even give it a design refresh but remember it is about evolving not a complete redesign, readers like familiarity to stay engaged.
5. Clear content hierarchy – Make sure your copy is easy to navigate, using headlines,
standfirsts and body copy.
These tips will enhance both the visual appeal and functionality of your magazine!
