Observe and collect samples of different types of magazines, note sizes. Also collect samples of different papers choose 1 or 2 layouts that you like and give reasons why you like them.
There are different magazines of standard sizes available at homes. Based on the genre and the target audience, the layouts and specifications are designed to keep the intended information attractive. Some of the popular magazines found in Indian households are Vogue, Femina, Frontline, India Today, Reader's Digest, Science Reporter and many more. The quality of paper used here depends upon the name of the associated brand. However, we still find paper types like Ivory Card, Maplitho, Alabaster, Cartridge etc. And for layouts option, the display depends upon the genre, magazine belongs to and among them, I prefer the magazines with extra border and shedding and embedded graphical images that go with the content, and for information, the simple bleed layout with the prominent print area enclosed in boxes.
