To develop more ideas on the design aspects, I have researched more magazines to gain more inspiration and see what features they include to make their magazines so successful. I found that my biggest inspirations are Vibe magazine and Billboard. This is mainly because of their simple, clear layout, their large images and limited text. I like how the key focus is on the main image as it makes it more interesting for the reader. This way they instantly know what the main highlight of the magazine is in a visual way, instead of reading lots of text. The large mastheads that they use are also effective because they stand out to the reader and are very clear and consistent. The last feature that I found most appealing is the layering effect that both of these magazines use. This makes the page look fuller even though there are less features being used.
