Magazine Cover Design Template

While designing the cover of our magazine, we chose to put the title of the magazine in the Pristina font. We liked this font for the title because it looks more creative and crafty. We decided to leave the font black so that we could choose the color based on our magazine. Although we may need to change the color of the font on our magazines depending on the picture and copy we choose to do. We also decided that we wanted the subheadings to be a different font than that of the title so that title would stand out more. We decided to go with the font, Stencil. It is more of a blocky font that looks like it was created with a stencil which again goes with out theme but it's also bold so it stands out nicely. We didn't want to use the same font that was used for the title because we wanted the title to stand out as being the title, it is very obvious what the title is. After careful consideration, we decided to call our magazine "The Crafting Corner." It goes along with the theme of the magazine but also encompasses a lot of different options for our articles. After researching other magazines in our genre, we found that it was common to put the title at the top and the subheadings either in list format on one side or scattered between both sides based on the picture that was used for the cover. We chose to use Stencil as the font for the headings. For our magazine we decided to put the subheadings on either side of the page. This allows the perfect amount of space for the picture to go in the middle of the page and any borders or actual image won't have to be cut off. I contributed the layout of the page and I created the actual page and set everything up. We really wanted too keep the template simple so we could make any changes we needed depending on our issue.
