inspiring magazine designs

ADS

These ad designs really appeal to me, since they manage to get their message across really well, despite not using a human subject to demonstrate it as you often see, the layout is very minimalistic as well, which to me is appealing since it doesn't overcrowd the page with information. the simplistic photos also appeal since they are son minimal, but they tell so much about the product. the ebay ad shows its an online store by making a store window display into the screen of a phone as if the phone is the store, and the maybelline ad shows that it's makeup by having the brush and pallette in the picture, since the pallette is in the picture it also tells you what your getting, rather than showing what it's for, since we already know that.

Spreads

these magazine layouts really appeal to me due to their simplistic designs, and the use of negative space, the use of it makes you able to recognize what the article is talking about, and the addition of simple additions such as the faces and the wine give the page visual appeal rather than simply just a block of text.

Cover

I love these covers since they implement illustrated elements into an otherwise realistic photo, this gives the cover a lot of personality, and lets the designer do what they want. the handwritten text brings attention to itself as well by making it into a subject in the photo rather than simply just being overlayed on top of the image.
