In this era
of inbound marketing, one could be forgiven for thinking that print is dead.
After all, landing pages, social media, emails and websites are a core part of
any successful small business's marketing game plan.

Believe it
or not, there’s still impact and influence in traditional, old-school
marketing. Print is alive and well, with the Content Marketing
Institute declaring that print can complement your
digital-marketing strategy.

Small
businesses, creatives and agencies can pleasantly surprise their leads by
presenting them with longer content that they can turn over in their hands and
take their time with. Certainly, this is a great alternative to today’s
obsession with 140-character limits and multiple Facebook updates each day.

How to Design a Print Magazine

Anyone who
seriously believes that print is dead is simply not paying attention! In an era
of digital marketing and short attentions spans, print is a breath of fresh air
and a pleasant surprise that your audience will appreciate. They’ll appreciate
longer-form content that’s palpable and gives them more in-depth info than a
simple landing page or tweet.

Even though
our deep selection of Magazine Templates on Envato Market will let
you effortlessly complement your inbound marketing with print advertising, you
still need to know how to design a readable magazine. Here are
some pointers:

Take care
of typography design. You’ll want to pay close attention to both the text size
and how your typography is set. Magazines aimed at a younger demographic can get away
with smaller typefaces, yet a print magazine generally tends to offer better
legibility and readability when you’re using serif fonts.

Make your
content readable and legible. This is a biggie! Without presenting your
magazine’s articles and other content clearly, you risk losing readers and your
audience because they’ll get frustrated with a format that’s illegible. To make
it easy to read, design your magazine text to be frequently broken up by
attractive and high-quality images. At the same time, ensure that your text is chunked into shorter paragraphs.

Do a
final check before printing. Before you’re ready to print your magazine template,
ensure that it’s totally perfect. This means going over everything—from the
text, to the images, to the cover—with a fine-toothed comb. There’s nothing worse
than printing your magazine, only to discover a glaring error that needs to be
corrected.
