  1. By adding trend to the magazine it can influence the layout and design of the pages. It makes the magazine more attractive and creative. For example, the calendar have include numbers that are big representing major events and when it stands out so it would catch the readers attention. Also, the trend "type" can also help catch the attention of the reader and makes the magazine page look more creative.

    Personally, I like the design trend of contrast. It provides depth and uniqueness to a magazine and furthermore proves that something specific is important. Contrast will help me in the future when I am designing my pages, as I will be able to make it clear to the reader what the main idea of each page is.

  7. Design trends have influenced my layout and design of my pages by giving me the inspiration to include linear pull-outs. With linear pull-outs using bubbled text that attach to a picture or image for my magazine.

    I like the headlines of some of the pages. They have some words different shades of a certain color to stand out. Also the size is fitting to the article size.

  9. Design trends have influenced the way I am going to set up my pages because as I see magazines being made, there are many attractive set ups, like use of contrast and use of numbers. Statistics are very attractive and especially for someone who likes math and facts, I like seeing numbers being used. I also like the use of contrast but not too flashy colors. It promotes a subtle but interesting page.

  10. Design trends influence the layout of a magazine because certain trends are more visually attractive than others, resulting in more views with that design. One specific design that is popular is being able to go to an article in a magazine just by tapping the corresponding image or article title on the front page of the magazine. This trend is used in People magazines.

    Design trends have a major influence over the layout and design on magazine pages. For example, in the picture above, it demonstrates the design trend of playing with numbers. The designer provided different fonts and sizes when creating their layout. It creates a visual impact and it also supplies information. In addition, it allows for color and shape diversity throughout the page and creates a nice flow throughout the content.

  12. I have missed a couple of classes so I have not started to design my pages, but I think I will use a lot of interactive features like slideshows and panorama overlays.

  15. Design trends influence other layouts by expressing new designs and encouraging other publishers to use specific new eye popping and attractive material.
    For example ever since Retina Support surfaced many publishers make sure to add the feature to their latest articles.

  16. Design trends help to make a magazine more appealing to a certain audience. I have to model my design trends after which groups of people i would like to read my magazine. Slideshows and videos will help make my magazine more interesting.
