ABSTRACT
Many journalists think of words as the starting point of magazines. But they’re wrong. All magazines, whether delivered in print or electronically, start as a series of blank spaces waiting to be filled – think of a particular title and you are likely to think not just of words but also images (see Chapter 14). The way these elements combine within a specific visual context – along with other factors such as typefaces, headlines and captions – comprises the magazine’s design.
