Magazine design requires comfortability for the reader, so the size and format is important and is something I need to consider. Why did I chose the square format initially? well, because I was tired of adhering to the A format so a square format seemed like the logical choice.
I started with a 295mm square format which quickly became a 275mm square format as I found that the spreads would not fit on an A2 sheet, this meant that there would be a lot of paper wastage. Resizing to 275mm means the spreads fit comfortably with crop marks.
I then recorded the measurements of popular design and architecture magazines to look for trends.
