#16 Creating Magazines

Lately I've been working on creating different magazines because it is a point of interest for me. I have learn to both love it and hate it. I have learned to appreciate all the work that goes into creating a magazine because I know from experience that it is stressful! I have learned how to make magazines in indesign and how to photoshop pictures to better suit my magazine spreads. It is stressful because there are so many options for ideas that you can choose from and it has to be visually appealing when you first look at it.
At first, I sat down and thought it would be so simple to create, because magazines don't look that complicated to design. WRONG! They're so complicated. For one magazine, I literally had 10 different ideas and created 10 different spreads for the cover alone!
Now I see why it is so important for magazines to have subscribers so that they can ensure that money because if not every single edition has to be extremely visually appealing and it is difficult.
