Research: Magazine Size

There is no standard size for a magazine…different magazines have different approaches to the size.


SAMPLING OF MAGAZINE SIZES:




Readers Digest  is approximately 14 cm × 21 cm (5 1⁄2 by 8 1⁄4 inches)




People Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Money Magazine ,Fortune Magazine are 7 7⁄8” x 10 7⁄16” Final Trim Size.




But magazines such as Rolling Stone Magazine, Magazines published by Condé Nast:, WIRED, GQ, Traveler, Bon Appétit, Vogue are a standard 8” x 10 7⁄8” Final Trim Size.




Moreover, there is a term called Bleeding which means extending the background beyond the edge lines so when they are printed and trimmed, then the background wouldn’t be compromised.

Finally, I added some text on the top-right corner as well, using the font 'Freestyle script'.
