Anatomy of a Magazine Layout Part 1 - 15 Terms and Definitions

In this video, I will go through over 15 editorial terms and definitions you need to be familiar with if you are planning to design magazines. We will learn about kickers, stand-firsts, bylines, pull-quotes, and so much more by analysing the work of my favourite editorial designers and art directors.

Fascinating. I always thought people read magazines because of the information contained, now I learn people apparently think of magazines itself as piece of art, like a visit to a modernart museum.

Hello! I wanted to thank you for explaining the structure. I was alway interested in fancy design layouts, but I didn't know the design language and university didn't teach us about it. It's much more clear to my head :)
