A layout of a magazine and a magazine

A layout of a magazine and a magazine cover is very important. The cover is what people judge the magazine by “don’t judge a book by its cover “ howeveryone does so therefore the layout is incredibly important. Sidewalk a skateboarding magazine has large picture to cover the front of the magazine and it has a column saying the content of what is in the magazine. E. g. interviews with people , news and events. The layout is reasonably simple , however the picture really makes up for the lack of information as it’s a excellent picture.

Sidewalk uses simple titles and simple sub heading making the magazine a easy read for all ages of people who are interested in skating. As this is a wide range of people from young to old and from people who have not even finished school to people who have got very professional jobs. The magazine has a lot of adverts for certain skateboarding related products however it has interviews , information of whats going on around the world of skateboarding and many other things.

The font used within the magazine is all very basic however colour is used very well to make the magazine look more appealing. The readers also want pictures as you can see who’s doing what etc. Also pictures make the magazine more interesting to just scan read like the majority of readers do. The pictures that are used are always very decent quality and they are usually edited to make the pictures look enhanced. Especially the adverts the pictures used are all edited thoroughly to make the company look more glamorous.

The front cover on the sidewalk magazine is always very carefully peiced together and the picture will be very carefully selected between a large group as people always see the front cover of the magazine first. The picture is edited with the sidewalk logo at the front , the cover also has information about what’s inside of the magazine to make the reader want to open up or buy the magazine to read more about its contents.
