PAGE MAGAZINE IN CAMPUS
Task designers do not just design the cover. Other work is no less important is the working page layouts in. After a prospective buyer interested in the magazine cover and then open it, the next task is to invite designers or guide prospective readers to listen to the pages until the desire to read (buy). Keep in mind that the reader upon opening the magazine always look left and right pages all at once, then the two facing pages should be designed in a single unit. Placement of visual elements (images, text, lines, etc.) on the left page must be balanced with the right page. To create the ease of reading (readability) and comfort read (legibility), there are two design aspects that need to be taken into account, the typography and photography.
Typography
Typography or arrangement of letters in the magazine design is an element most responsible for bring enjoyment and ease of reading. In the computer available tens or even hundreds of typeface (font). The best way to choose the letter is to consider whether the letter is “readable”? The best letters are the letters for the print media that have high readability value. Never think “looking for letters that artistic … let the reader interested.” Wrong! Artistic is necessary, but the value of communication are preferred. The value of legibility at least influenced by several factors below. ° (font) · (point size) · (line length) · Space (lines, letters, words) · (alignment) · (style)
PHOTOGRAPHY
Magazine pages are just filled with text, without any photos, would look like a football field. Boring. Any manuscript or any attempted news photographs or illustrations. Visual images have power capture (eye-catching) is strong. Moreover, the photo has a weight of journalistic able to talk about the facts difficult to explain verbally. Any discussion of journalistic photography are discussed in separate sessions. One thing to keep in mind, the development of journalistic photography has now jumped far, both tools, techniques, and quality demands. Photojournalism now required to have a high public-interest, not only of interest to a particular person or group. The main task of the designer in the handling of images is to construct and combine it with the text in accordance with the principles of layout.
