I advise you to concentrate on a few of the guidelines we like to highlight in our agency work if you truly want to learn how to design a magazine—even a great one:
Keep your audience in mind.
The color scheme ought to convey the psychology of the audience.
The language ought to reflect the communication style of the target audience.
Each of your contributors should present a different viewpoint on the main topic from one that the typical audience member can relate to.
Don't ever minimize your audience. Your magazine IS them. Instead, educate them on the subjects that are important to them.
Make sure the layout design closely reflects the desired overall look.
If naive or abstract art is more appropriate, then definitely pursue that path.
Should your target have a college degree,
If naive or abstract art is more appropriate, then definitely pursue that path.
If your audience is well-educated, use linear elements to appeal to their sense of importance rather than attempting to overpower them with aesthetics.
You might need to provide your audience with original artwork, highly stylized cartoons, etc., if they are interested in art in any way.
Align subjects with established search volume and take advantage of new developments.
You will gain converts if the topic you are discussing is at the forefront of everyone's mind.
You shouldn't expect readers to return for more if your writing is merely commentary on yesterday's news.
Don't be scared to present opposing views to the dominant narrative. That is the purpose of magazines.
That is the purpose of magazines. Make some unique selections for your contributors.
Include interviews on a regular basis in your routine. Take on controversial, obscure, and famous figures, but approach them in a unique way.
Use appropriate equipment.
If you're just getting started, you might want to dive right into InDesign and work to develop your team's design proficiency. Today, the majority of layout designers prefer the options and user-friendly toolkit. Cost shouldn't matter with Adobe's present pricing structures. As you go, you pay.
Take special note of the fonts. Examine numerous rivals in your field. Choose the person that nobody on your radar has spoken for. or at the very least, use a sufficiently eccentric font weight
