Theme
The
fist step in which you may already have is coming up with
a theme for your magazine publication. Pick a theme that you
are passionate about and then research your potential competitors
to see if it’s a saturated market. When looking at your
competitors think about why your publication will be different
and what will make your magazine stand out above the others.

that if you choose to layout your magazine that you use a
professional product that the professionals use. Below are
a few magazine layout software programs that you may want
to use and research:

Magazine
layout is only the half of the design process. You will need
an additional piece of software to create your design elements,
which you will plug into your layout. Below are a few design
programs for designing your images:

Logo
After
coming up with your theme you will need a logo. Think about
what colors you will want to use for your brand. We recommend
that you have this created in a vector format. A vector format
will enable you to size your logo to as big as you may need
it without compromising any quality.

Advertisements
Magazine
advertisements are critical to the success of your magazine.
This is a key area that needs to be focused on. The advertisements
will help fund the magazine publication and make it successful.
When trying to attract potential advertisers think about what
companies will compliment your magazine theme. This will help
you make an easier sale as your subscription base is more
targeted to the specific product or service that the advertiser
is trying to sell. For instance if you have a local sports
magazine you may want to future local sports bars or sporting
goods stores. Palm Seed Studio can help with the design and
implementation of your magazine advertisements.
Web Design
Along
with the print of your magazine in most cases you will want
to develop a Web site to mirror your magazine publication.
This will give your subscription base a place to go to get
more information. The Web site is also an area that you have
to opportunity to sell additional advertising space. Lastly,
if someone comes across your Web site, it’s another
opportunity for an additional subscriber to your magazine
publication. Palm Seed Studios can optimize your Web site
to pull up in all the major search engines. This is called
Search Engine Optimization, otherwise known as SEO. To find
