I wonder about that sometimes because these days, in most bookstores the magazine section is rather small. Books occupy the most of the shelves and only a small section has magazines. In the past, I could never afford to buy a print magazine, especially an English magazine such as National Geographic. I could only check magazines online and learned about layouting of magazines from online sources. But in recent years, I am quite fortunate to afford it. By now, I have been collecting about 10 magazines from national geographic and also Condé Nast Traveler each year. As a gen Z, I don’t think many people around my age even read print magazines. But to me, reading print magazines offers an interesting perspective.

Today I will be specifically highlighting Condé Nast Traveller, a travel magazine,published under Conde Nast publication. The magazine itself has a luxurious touch to it. The layouting is something I really adore. If you write travel blogs or content, their layout can be an inspiration. The picture is not crammed up into one but it makes everything easier to read. Some of my travel articles are even inspired by Condé Nast Traveller’s layout.

With advertisements from rolex and patek philliphe, it seems that this travel magazine catered to a certain audience. The places recommendations are no joke, they are definitely not for a budget traveler but for those who are into luxurious travel.

The content of the magazine is what you could expect from a posh travel magazine. Every word said is eloquent. The choice of word is efficient but elaborative. Everything was written thoughtfully without a rush. Each of the contributors in that magazine made us feel like we’re being pampered on a luxurious getaway. And that is something that I personally learn from that magazine. I want to learn how to bring my words into something that leaves a feeling as if I am taking everyone with me into a journey, even if that’s not a luxurious one.

Reading that magazine won’t bore us. Instead, I personally find it inspiring. These magazines made me want to better myself, the way I write, and the way I layout things in my blog. It also offers an interesting narrative rather than just boring factual information. If you have never read these types of magazines, I really think you should check them out even if you think that is so out of fashion.
