Now that I have a better direction of where our project is going in terms of topic and design, I am researching type of layouts, font styles, and image types. I have also been looking into numerous photography tutorials in order to get a better footing for pictures in our magazine. Since the magazine will be online using the program called In-Design, now we are trying to brainstorm various layout designs for the table of contents as well as double-page spread.
The images of food and how those pictures are chosen to be placed in the magazine layout is extremely important. In my research, I have found that cooking magazines tend to focus their double-page spreads on the arrangement of photography, clever sub-headlines, and color psychology in order to evoke a certain mood from the audience (as well make the viewer enticed to eat what is being featured.) We are also going to include multiple sidebars of recipes. Cooking and food magazines tend to gear themselves towards middle-aged women, so it is important to keep the content inviting as well as lighthearted.
