Would love to see a video where we construct a magazine layout (like the examples you've shown) from scratch!

[VeraChange]

Hey! Thank you for this! What tool you use to anotate on screen? I love it, and been searching for one like this for ages. Thanks!

[ahammedsabbir]

I liked to watch both of the parts of Anatomy of a Magazine Layout. Thank you :)

[NoluntuZwelibanzi]

so when you are writing the magazine article are you the one who is supposed to draw a caption

[daniel]

Thank you. This is a great video. It would be helpful to explain/show the difference between an outer margin and bleed,

[sarathidtp]

It is creative design. I wanted to learn from your tutorial. But your price high. I can not aford this money.
Thanks.

Thanks for the pro stuff!!! Do you have any epub/mobi format book design course? I'm stuck on a book design. I created that book in InDesign and exported fixed layout epub format. It looks good when I preview it in browser but text and images messed up when I open it in epub or kdp previewer. I searched a lot to figure out errors but didn't find any answer to solve it. I think you can help me with your suggestions?
Thanks a million!!!

Negative space and white are different. Common misconception.

I would like to see a video done on printed Newsletters.

[eliannemendez]

Is there a way in InDesign to show where the creep / spine is on the page, and how wide it is? Like some guides you can display on the page.

[MMSaabChannel]

Thanks for another great indesign video 😍 The one with the watch was great 😀

[lorrainekenny]

I was told one can do magazine layout maps for the art director for a magazine. Is this true?

we're doing magazines in school and our teacher barely covers anything because of online school so this really helps!
