*That was horrible.*
I am myself working on a magazine. I have the body copy to justified. I had to spend a lot of time playing with the type to set a good space in between words and characters. Some elements like the editor's letter and stuff are not justified.
Very important things when setting type in this matter is by having a kick-ass grid that allows you to explore and modify text columns rather easy. I have basically a 3 column grid that can be subdivided by itself in 2 or 3. Even the margins are relative to the measurements of the columns.
You have allow yourself to have plenty of white in between columns and lines of text, and pretty much all around your type.
Contrast between the main text and small headers are very important.Space if the key when justifying.
