Indesign Magazine

[zenicman9]

Hi

I was wondering if someone can help me, I have just started my college course in graphic design and have been tasked to make a Magazine in Design

I was wondering if anyone has a magazine template they could send me to give me some help?

Thanks

I think the point of the exercise is for you to create your own magazine layout, with columns, text/images boxes etc, as a way of learning the program. Using an already created layout would be pointless for your development.

Thanks,
I wasn’t asking for a full magazine, Just more of the basic layout I have no idea where to start in indesign and there doesn’t seem to be a new-Template function

I know you weren't asking for a full magazine layout design, but they're asking you to do this, simply to learn some of the bits and pieces in In Design. So using master pages, columns and grids etc. And obviously being on a design course, you'd want to design something yourself right?

Yes and no, I will never need to make Magazines in the real life as I want the graphic design skills for web work mainly

Listen to Arrivals, you're on a graphics course! if you are this inflexable this early on you will setting yourself up for a very hard time. Your tutor wants you to learn this!

You might not think you'll ever need to create a magazine but you'll still need to understand grids and columns when creating a website layout.

My advice is to keep an open mind and learn as much as possible about every aspect of design.

If you were looking for a job at my company, you'd need excellent web skills as well as being able to use InDesign / Illustrator / Photoshop.

Any jobs going at your company? I have all of the above :icon_tongue_smilie:

ha ha - 10 out of 10 for being quick off the mark.

By all means send me your CV and work samples as I could very well be looking for another freelancer in the New Year (and include your hourly / daily rate).

Cheers

Can I send you something too? My usp is spelling and grammar - you have a couple of typos on your website!
