I have finally printed a mock-up of my layout so far to check the type is consistent and legible and the images are set at the right quality. Immediately, I noticed the type was unnecessarily large. Gotham at 9pt is much bigger than Cambria at 9pt, for example, so I will reduce this to around 7 or 8pt. Some of the images are obviously not set to the correct resolution so I need to resolve this for the final print.
Overall, I am happy with the layout but due to its simplicity, I think I will need to integrate something substantially different to break up the content. Andy suggested looking at related advertising or even a subscription form. As I have featured gold within the magazine, I could also look at metallic gold stock for some of the pages.
