Digital Magazine Design

Publishers of contemporary magazines invest more and more money in developing innovative design for an increasingly design-literate reader. Innovation however must always be grounded in the underlying conventions of legibility to ensure loyal readership and economic success.<br /><br />Digital Magazine Design provides detailed descriptions of all the necessary rules of design and uses these rules to cast a critical eye over a selection of contemporary high-street magazines.<br /><br />The second part of this volume written by publishing students demonstrates how the tools of design can be applied to the analysis and practice of contemporary magazine design.<br /><br />Through an understanding of the relationship between text image and design and the ability to make informed judgements the student is able to critically evaluate all publishable material.
