1. Things to consider when creating a magazine By Rebecca Pearse

2. The size of the text is very important as you do not want it to be too small for the viewer to read yet you do not want the text to be too large and space consuming as the viewer would think it is for children .

3. It is important not to use to many dif fer e nt fo nt s when creating a magazine as this may put the reader off and make them think that the magazine is not very professional. When creating a magazine it would be best to use no more then 3 different fonts on the front cover. It would also look professional if they use these same fonts throughout the magazine as to create a set house style for the magazine. Finally it is important to make sure you choose an appropriate font for your magazine. As you do not want to give the wrong impression. For example if you were to use a big curly bubbly font this may not be appropriate for a professional magazine.

6. Language Lenguaje Langue The language should also be considered when creating a magazine as this should be appropriate for the set target audience. An example of this would not to use any big words in a children's magazine, and again the opposite way round. To make sure that the language is appropriate then it would be useful to ask someone who is of your target audience if they think that the language you have used is appropriate and change it if not. Depending on the type of magazine you should be careful when deciding to use formal or informal language as this could either attract the reader or put them off. In a more sophisticated type of magazine it may be more appropriate to use a formal language whereas if it is a more laid back magazine that likes to make a connection with their audience then they may choose to use a more informal language.

A conventional magazine will have the masthead at the top as so when on a magazine shelf the title can still be seen.. A typical convention would be to have the main image in the centre and the cover line underneath it to show they are together. Puffs and plugs would be shown around the edges of a typical conventional magazine. such as the layout style on the left hand side. The magazine layout in the middle and on the right may be some different innovative styles to think about although it is shown that the most popular and successful is the conventional layout. Layout
