Magazine Layout in InDesign

Remember to bring a magazine and ruler to class so that you’ll have the necessary tools to duplicate a magazine layout. Because each student will be working on a different layout, I’ll review and approve each layout before you begin the project.

The purpose of duplicating the magazine layout is to give students the  opportunity to learn and practice:

  • measuring and duplicating
  • typography basics — headlines, subheads, captions, bylines, lead-ins/read-in, sandwiches/blurbs, drop caps
  • text formatting, including flowing text between text frames and pages — font, font families, size, style, leading, column widths, horizontal and vertical justification, insets
  • text wraps — offsets, ignore text wrap
