Magazine feedback

• use the blue guidelines (drag from the rulers)
• use the grid (CTRL @)
• align text properly - use columns or grids/ boxes
• add page numbers to all pages
• page 1 is the cover, page 2 is the page behind the cover
• contents page is page 3 minimum
• left hand page = EVEN NUMBERS
• right hand page = ODD NUMBERS
• don't have consecutive pages on your contents page - REMEMBER magazines have adverts
• don't end the page numbers on a low number on your contents page - think about how many pages your magazine would have
• make sure text is legible (can you read it?)
• credit the writer and the photographer (make names up if necessary)
• use headings on your dps
• use pull quotes on images and in articles
• use at least two columns of text per page on your dps
• cover needs a barcode, price, issue and a date
• look at real magazines for idea
• make sure text isn't too big (compare your work to a real magazine)
• pay attention to gutters and margins (you need to use them)
• make sure you mark the centre of your dps with a guideline
