  • A period is a period of time: a week, a month, a year, a century…



  • The first journal appeared in Europe in the 2nd half of the 17th century and was called the Journal of Scientists.
  • In Russia, the magazine was also published in 1769 and was called "Truten". But he did not last long.
  • The first magazines that were published in Russia: "Painter", "Purse".

And for children - "Children's Reading for the Heart and Mind" (1785-1789), "Northern Lights", "Polar Star".



  • A journal is a publication in the form of a block of sheets of printed material fastened in the spine, of the established format in the cover.
  • The cover of the magazine or the first page always has the number and year of publication. To learn more about the publication, you need to look at its imprint. In addition to the publication number, they indicate the year from which this magazine has been published, and its circulation, as well as who its editor, editorial board, artists, and the purpose of the magazine.

Steps

Getting Started

  1. Create a theme or focus. What is the main theme of your magazine? Keep in mind that most magazines are niche publications that are aimed at a specific audience (for example, people interested in needlework or brides looking for new ideas).

    • Ask yourself: will it be a standalone edition or a series edition? If it's part of a series, what is your overall theme?
    • Try to pull the name of the magazine from this general theme of yours. Please note that most magazines have one or two word titles (for example, Forbes, national geographic, Rolling stone, TIME). A short title can not only sum up the theme well, but also help define the design.
    • What is the focus of this post? How can you use this to tie all the materials together?
      • A good example of a room theme is prom for a teen magazine or swimwear for a fashion magazine. All content in this issue is related to the main focus.
    • What is the theme of the issue? If necessary, what is the theme of the number series?
      • Annual issue title example includes Swimwear magazine Sports Illustrated, Hollywood magazine Vanity Fair, September magazine Vogue.
  2. Decide how you will compose your journal. The method you choose to compile your log may determine how you collect and aggregate content. Here are some points to consider:

    • While the glossy, computer-generated look of the magazine is the standard, if you make it without the help of a computer, it will add an art-house look to the magazine. However, this will require a lot of extra time and talent, and is best suited to people who have already taken on similar projects.
    • InDesign is the standard (albeit expensive) design program for computer-designed magazines. Text is often written and edited in InCopy, which is linked to InDesign. Some publications use Quark.
      • If these options don't fit into your price range, then Office Publisher can be an effective alternative.
  3. Set deadlines. When do you plan to finish the magazine? Ask yourself if you are setting reasonable deadlines, and if a realistically finished magazine can be in your hands and readers' hands by the end of the deadline.

    • Deadlines are more important if you're dealing with current issues (such as news or humor), or if you're creating an issue about an annual event (such as fall fashion trends).

    Content Creation

    1. Write articles, columns and stories. What do you want to say to your reader? Whether your magazine is based on humorous anecdotes, art fiction, news, high-brow interviews, or any combination of genres, you will need textual content. Here are some options:

      • Write articles on topics that you or your employees care about. Are you concerned about the problems of humanity? Or are the topics related to current events? Do they offer advice or interviews with interesting people?
      • Write short stories to give your journal a more personal touch. It could be fiction or real story, depending on how it relates to your topic.
      • Dig up old poems or ask friends if you can publish their work in your magazine. This will give the magazine an artistic touch.
      • Collaborating with friends to get different points of view is a great way to approach this aspect of the magazine.
    2. Collect images. Even if your focus is on written articles, magazines are visual media. Beautiful images will keep readers interested and add another dimension to your articles.

      • Take photographs related to the contents of the magazine. Be sure to take a photo with empty, neutral space. These will make a wonderful backdrop against which to place written content.
      • Do a photojournalism project. This means that you study one topic in depth, and introduce the reader to it with a series of photographs. This is a great option for people with good photography skills.
      • Search for Creative Commons-licensed images online. While all of these photos will be free, be sure to read if you can or need to caption the photo, get permission to edit it, or maybe it can only be used for non-commercial purposes.
      • Purchase images from a stock photo database. Although a slightly more expensive option, stock photos are designed specifically for such projects and make it easier for you to find images that match your content.
      • Draw your own pictures or join forces with someone who can. This approach is recommended for art house magazines.
    3. Cover design. Your magazine cover should invite the reader to see what's inside without revealing too much. Here are some ways to achieve this goal:

      • The title of your journal must be prominent. Although many magazines change the color of the title from issue to issue, the font is almost always the same. Settle for one that is easy to read, recognizable, and aesthetically consistent with the content of the magazine.
        • Most magazines have the title at the top of the cover to make the brand stand out. One of the most interesting examples of how you can play with title and cover interactions is in magazines. Harper's Bazaar.
      • Decide what will be on the cover of this issue. Fashion magazines often use models on the cover, celebrity magazines often use paparazzi photos, and news magazines may use portraits. Whatever images you use, they should look compelling and be related to the main theme of your magazine.
      • Write explanations (optional). Some journals write an explanation or title of only the main topic (for example, TIME or Newsweek), while others write about multiple stories on the cover (for example, Cosmopolitan or People). If you chose the second option, make sure your cover doesn't look too cluttered.

    Content assembly

    1. Choose the final look for your magazine. The look of your magazine depends almost as much on the brand as it does on the content. Think about:

      • Font: Do you use a font inside the magazine that is easy to read and consistent with your theme? Does it echo the font of your magazine title on the cover?
      • Paper: Are you going to print the magazine on glossy or matte paper?
      • Color: Some magazines such as People, were printed half color, half black and white to save on ink consumption. Many literary magazines are printed in black and white, although most major brands have switched to color printing. Think about how much you can afford to spend on ink for each issue, and how you can incorporate that into your magazine's look.
    2. Create the layout of your magazine. Now that you already know how to post your content, it's time to post it. How you decide to do this will depend on what software you will (or won't) use, but there are certain things to keep in mind:

      • Do the formatting consistently. Use the same borders, styles, numbering, font or fonts on all pages. The creation of a Frankenstein that looks like it was glued together by twelve different people, that's the last thing you want.
      • Number the pages, especially if you've included a table of contents.
      • Make sure your final product has an even number of pages (including covers). If you try with an odd number, you will end up with at least one blank page.
      • If you're creating a magazine manually, now is a good time to figure out how you'll move content into pages. Will you print it? Write directly on the pages? Insert a photo?
    3. Publish your journal. You can do it the old fashioned way by putting it into print, or you can publish it online. Review your options to see what works best for your budget.

      • Bind your magazine (only for magazines handmade). When you've finished the pages, you can bind the magazine so they stay together.
    • Be sure that your publication corresponds to the moral character. For example, an environmental magazine printed on glossy pages scares off readers, although glossy paper can also be produced in an environmentally friendly manner. In this example, it is better to stick to matte pages. In other words, know your readers and their expectations!
    • Distribute some copies of your magazine for free, such as to libraries, to help educate readers about your product.
    • Consider subscription programs. This guarantees you money to keep your magazine production going and is a great way to create special offers and direct communication with readers.
    • It is much more difficult to learn how to use Quark, but the professionals who use it are really satisfied.
    • To bring your magazine to a wider audience, try self-publishing it.
    • InDesign is a really great program for graphic design of publications. It is quite easy to learn and very flexible. The Text-Edit program is also good and easy to use. Refine the article in Text-Edit, then copy and paste into the appropriate column.
    • Try adding an introduction page before you start your “editor/author letter” and talk about the positive aspects of your magazine and some of the pages aimed at a specific audience who will be interested in your magazine. Add facts about the product you represent.
