    single orientation

    dpsCygnus Community Member

      We have been seeing more magazines doing a single orientation.

       

      Does anyone have observations or data on which is more popular...v or h?

       

      Any good examples of single orientation magazines?

          It really depends on the layout but I’ve come to think that landscape is better choice.

           

           

           

          It’s the same shape as TVs and computer screens.

            Magazine designers tend to think 'spread-like', with every two pages forming a logical unit of design.

             

            May be that and the fact that most paper magazines are done by that people has some relation with that.

             

            But it depends: Plain fashion pictures would be better served by a portrait orientation as they are 'portraits' basically.
