Gossip Magazine Designs

This is a page from Heat Magazine (October 2007) The style of these magazines, is to have the articles positioned on an angle and use large, bright coloured type. They use the colour in the type to catch your eye when it’s on the sale shelf. But It doesnt look very attractive compared to other magazines and the colour scheme doesn’t really run through out the magazine. So it doesn’t flow as well as the better designed magazines. The layouts they use here, may be determined by the limited number of pages these style of magazines have.
