ELEMENTS OF MAGAZINE DESIGN
QUESTION PAPERS AND ANSWER KEYS
Headlines
Headlines can vary in size and the importance of the article determines headline size. I will talk about headline treatments in another extensive tutorial. Positioning of the headline is also vital and you should aim to place your headlines on the top of a page.
The headline should be set in the bigger size regarding other text elements on the page.
Intro (kicker, stand-first, deck)
From the design point of view intro should be set in bigger type size than body copy but in a much smaller size than the headline.
Body copy (body text)
This is the largest part of any article. Body copy should be as interesting as the design, as the headline and intro text. . Setting right margins, columns and size of the body copy affects its readability and usability.Pull quotes
Pull quotes are very useful and attractive.
Pull out quotes can be taken out directly from the body text or they can be summarized excerpts
Subheads
Subheads are used to break up the body copy and to give some clever insight into what the reader can expect in the next few paragraphs.
Image captions
Bylines and creditshe byline on a newspaper or magazine article gives the date, as well as the name of the writer of the article. Bylines are traditionally placed between the headline and the text of the article, although some magazines (notably Reader's Digest) place bylines at the bottom of the page, to leave more room for graphical elements around the headline.
Running head (section head)
These are navigation elements that guide the reader. If you set them in brightly colored box and bleed them out of the page they will be visible even when the magazine is closed.Folio
Folio can consist of several elements. Page number is mandatory but others are optional. Others can be publication logo, date, month, section title, web page, but again do not over do it.Panels and box copy
Boxes are used as news items or as extensions to a long article in which you can place some other facts or data which are relevant to the article. These types of copy are generally shorter in length and have more factual tone. They can be in a form of a text, bulleted text or lists.
The byline on a newspaper or magazine article gives the name, the date, and often the position, of the writer of the article.
