Alright, that's enough of my worrying for today. I took a journey to Barnes and Nobles today. I went over to the magazine section marked "Music" and envisioned my magazine sitting up there. Just kidding. Not really... The point I'm trying to get at here is that I looked at a variety of magazines and some inspired me, some didn't. I found that in a few magazines, there was an overwhelming amount of text. After speaking to several consultants, we agreed that too much text and no pictures was not very enticing. I picked up a Pink Floyd Collectors Edition magazine and found that it had a really nice balance of text and photos.
Example:
Since I'm only doing a two page spread, I need to feature more text than this. I think I'm going to go with two columns on both pages. I've sketched out some layouts that follow two columns, so I'll upload them tomorrow.
