I like this font style and might use it in my own article as the
headline as it is minimalistic which is the style I am intended
to use.
I also like the use of the main image on both pages but feel
this might prevent my texts from being easily read.
Since I have decided to name my magazine
“Lemonade” which will be in yellow, the color theme
through my magazine will probably use this color
throughout. I like that this article has included
symbols to match the article title.
Having my main image on the intro page in a box
might add to the USP of my magazines unusual
formatting and also add to the minimalism theme
that intend to use in my magazine house-style.
