Exercise 2. Design Magazine

 Enjin Magazine


This local magazine is made for designers in all fields of design. The layout of the magazine follows a grid structure for the placement of body copy and imagery. This gives the layout a simplistic look. The content is not restricted to graphic designers only, as they address articles on photography, architecture, illustration, recommended reading for people involved or who have an interest in design.


They make use of a mixture of serif and sans-serif typefaces in the magazine adding interest to the articles and making them easy to read and the pages don’t appear too busy with type and image. The colours they’ve used appear to be a mixture yellow and an olive green, giving it a gold look in colour. This colour is mainly used for heading and a magenta for links to website. This also doesn’t make the content look too jarring to the viewer and gives a feel of sophistication.
