Magazine Layout Services - Key Elements

Flatworld believes in combining design and technical quality. We know that the keys to an effective magazine layout involves a combination of:

• Illustration
• Typography
• Photography
• Content

Layout designers have to have an artistic knowledge in addition to a technical knowledge, to be able to visualize the entire project at both a micro and macro level. That is why we blend all of the most important elements of magazine layout, including:

• Illustration - We look at colors, photos, image editing and more that add to the design and provide an illustration that best suits the content of the page
• Photography - We can both provide photography and utilize pre-existing photos to add character and visual appearance to the articles
• Typography - We can create custom fonts, or make sure that we're using a font, size, and style that captures attention without distracting from the rest of the layout
• Content / Text - We can provide our own content as needed, with trained writers and editors that understand what text needs to be on the page to get noticed
• Grid Work - We can set up each page so that it captures attention, with both symmetrical and asymmetrical grids that complement the magazine's personality
• White Space - We'll make sure to examine the total amount of white space, fill what we need to, and create white space effectively to draw attention where applicable

Our designers use all of the latest technologies to edit layout and images, including Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop Creative Suite, Adobe Photoshop CC, CorelDRAW, and QuarkXPress, and we make sure that each and every designer is trained with the newest updates to ensure they are able to complete your layout editing project effectively.
