Tells what the featured story is about Should be the next biggest text after the

Unified design

Good design makes the final product look simple When all design elements work together, it ends up

looking simple, natural All elements should look like they belong TIP #1: Don’t overcomplicate the design. Start

with one dominant image, add your text, then add more “flair”.

TIP #2: A border along the outside can help unify the design

Page 30: MAGAZINE COVERS digital design. Examples

Unity

Simple, yet powerful

This cover won an award for design

Page 31: MAGAZINE COVERS digital design. Examples

Color scheme

Don’t go “color crazy” Use colors from your dominant image for

fonts Red is the most dramatic color—it jumps

off the page the most.

Page 34: MAGAZINE COVERS digital design. Examples

Color

Repeat colors, don’t use 8 different colors

Use colors from your title in your teasers

Page 35: MAGAZINE COVERS digital design. Examples

Color

Notice that all headlines have the same color
