Start Creating Your Magazine Cover

1. look back over your magazine design blog posts, and browse other people's posts to remind yourself of what a good magazine cover looks like.

2. Open your InDesign document.

3. Add a page after the yearbook layout and before the glossary, design the template for a magazine cover. It must include the following:

A. Magazine name
Think carefully about the font you use
You may use the name of a real magazine or make up your own

B. A teaser / cover line (headline type description) for the main story. Remember that you will be placing your portrait into the cover next week. If you choose to do a poster style cover, you may remove this later.

C.
If you choose to make a "picture married to type" or a "forrest of words" type cover, create the following:
At least two teasers (Cover lines) for secondary stories. (Be creative)

If you are creating a poster, you do not have to create additional cover lines.

D. Pricing and date information. (Inserting a bar code is extra credit)
