TWO PAGE MAGAZINE LAYOUT FULL
TWO PAGE MAGAZINE LAYOUT SERIES

However, saying this, I feel like its still a good style if it looks clear and easy to read. It can be a bit confusing for the readers when looking at the images. You don’t know where to look or even where the flow of the images start. However, I feel like it can be a bit crowded in this style.

If you have a sequence of multiple images which show a series of events, this is a good style to use then in showcasing that event. Having multiple images on the pages is a good way in showcasing them all, having a variety on 1 or even 2 of the pages. However, I still might try it and see but I like the idea of it as its bringing something new to the magazine which is just eye catching.

Because it needs to completely fill the page, that’s the concept of it, and I just feel like i don’t have that kind of image. I feel like for my story, I wouldn’t do this kind of layout in my magazine as I believe I don’t really have the kind of image that can be spread across like this.

I feel like the text is important in this case as otherwise it would be a bit boring, you need the text to tell you the concept of the image or just to split the page up a bit. What I like this is despite having the whole 2 pages filled there’s still enough room for some text. It cant just be any image it has to be the ideal image which just fills the whole page. However, I feel like you have to have the right image to do this. I kind of like this style, I feel like if you have that image to use then blow it up to a double page spread filling the whole 2 pages. I think I prefer having at least 2 images on the other page as it just fills out the page enough so it doesn’t look too empty next to the massive image, but just enough room to have a small bit of text to explain your story/images.

This kind of layout is simple yet effective, it brings the reader right into the magazine with that big image on the left drawing the viewers into the rest.Īnd then the use of having multiple images on the other side of the page or just one is very clean the way its presented. I believe in the examples below the smaller images are just the right size for that it needs to be, and then there’s just enough room for some text which breaks the page up a bit so there not too many images in your face as there was one big one on the other side of the page. I also feel like as long as the other images on the other page aren’t too small, the bigger picture doesn’t over shadow the smaller ones.

I feel like it shows your best image off first by having that full page spread on a single side. I really like this kind of style for magazines. In a previous blog post I talked about the different styles that there are in magazines, but I decided to look at publications and their doubles page spreads as it will give me inspiration towards my magazine layout and also I can see visually what works and what I think doesn’t before I start mine. Looking at actual magazine layouts from publications is very important when creating your own magazine and following the inspiration from another.
