What is page furniture?
Examples:
A drops cap is a very commonly used design element within magazines due to its simplicity, yet ability to attract the eye. A drops cap is the deliberate enlargement and/or embellishment of the first letter of the opening word to a feature, and it is effective because it pulls the readers focus towards the text and encourages them to read.
Varying shapes and boarders around key words or mastheads also grab the attention of readers as it makes more significant words stand out. By using similar shapes or colours throughout the magazine, house style is unified, and the design of the page is easily identifiable to the specific magazine.
Other design elements such as watermarks and decorative pull quotes make a feature more visually pleasing and create a professional look. Too many items of page furniture would over crowd the page and draw attention away from the main body of test or main image, so it is important to research into what similar magazines have done in order to create a balance within my own work.
Design features I hope to include:
