Design in mind

Ive been collecting swatches and ideas for the kinda design I have in mind for the online magazine. But was leaving it for the design stage but upon working on the design specification, I cant list measurements if I don't work out the exact design. So thats what I am doing now, going through the design elements so I can get the design specification done as soon as possible. Once I have worked out the measurements I will hand the structure development to the developer, which I will mention how I found the developer once my parts handed over.

So the following posts will be design elements, that may or maynot be used but there form caught my eye for the magazine design.

Basically Im thinking chrisp white magazine back with sharp colors and shapes, though maybe with an angular pattern on the main background (white on top). I don't want mass colour overdone to appeal to kids, I want a more grown up design, thats I've seen been used for teenagers alot especially from the 80s, less neon though. Kids are better at knowing good design from bad design, so putting more design input into a older kids artifact I hope to prove works.

So the following posts will show these elements, then the posts after will be the idea I have for the cover and what I currently have in mind for the marketing material.
