What aspects should novice magazine typesetting start from?

The first step of layout design is to sort the information in the page logically.

Defining this logic and then implementing it in the corresponding design language is the original intention of the word "design".

If the area is not enough, increase the page number, if the picture is empty, compress or enlarge the part that needs to be emphasized most-instead of enlarging the whole in equal proportion. Sometimes being too balanced is also an idea.

The so-called design should be design, calculation and consideration (logical order), and design is arrangement (realization after translation into design language).

2. Text font: three-level title+text, with no more than three fonts. Don't be in a mess, just stop using the line and song style of regular script at most.

Block: It is worth fine-tuning the line spacing, and it should be consistent after confirmation, not inconsistent.

3, the layout must be neat first, and the lazy way is that every picture and every text block must have some alignment;

Alignment can be enhanced by lines (just combine the two thicknesses+solid line and dotted line, and the lines should not be too thick)

All modules should be related, and the way to overcome disorder is induction, using text boxes and color blocks with background color, but black and white blocks are not practical, so it is not recommended to use white characters on black background in a large area.

Don't be afraid to use big picture, full picture, half picture, banner (cut into very narrow 16:9 or even 16:5), and the order of the whole picture will be determined when one picture is used well.

4. Destroying a newspaper may be because the layout order is too straight. Try to destroy the picture by pouring large blocks of color, cutting it into special shapes and using it in a large area.

5. Develop a small detail language, including but not limited to the lines and small graphic elements mentioned above.

6. Opportunism In fact, the first step of magazine layout design is to choose the layout. If possible, weird formats, such as squares, are easy to jump out, although they are waste paper. In fact, there are many unusual standard formats, not waste paper, such as 20 format, but only suitable for printing, which is not realistic.
