Once you have your concept for a new magazine solidified, you will have to begin the arduous task of putting it all together. After you have gathered all your content and images for your premiere issue, unless you plan to do your own layout, you will most likely need the services of a graphic artist to develop your concept and bring it to life.  

When it comes to magazine layout software for your publication there are only a few choices that you should consider if you want to create a magazine that has a professional look and feel. Without a doubt, the two frontrunners in this field are Adobe Indesign and Quark Xpress. Although both programs allow for advance graphic design creations and artistic expression, there are subtle differences that exist between them. Whether you intend to do your own graphic design or use the services of a graphic designer, you should take it upon yourself to learn as much information as possible so you can have a good idea as to the capabilities of both programs. The pitfalls of using a graphic designer that is not experienced can have financial and emotional consequences. Designers must understand what software program to use for the task at hand. A designer that is not experienced can cost a magazine publisher a lot of time, money and unnecessary stress.

The Magazine Layout Brief gives a thorough overview on both Adobe Indesign and Quark Xpress and the inherent advantages and disadvantages of both. Anyone familiar with either knows that both programs are very expensive. Indesign normally retails between $800 to $1,000 and Quark between 1,000 to $1,300 dollars! However, since you’re on a shoestring budget, inside the Magazine Layout Software Brief is information on a major retailer where you can buy the latest version of Indesign or Quark Xpress for less than $200 dollars!! Yes, it’s true! And these are perfectly legal copies that can be registered at the Adobe and Quark Xpress websites. So, what are you waiting for?
