A practical guide to design your own magazine.

For two days you will be an editorial designer and you will oversee the whole creative process of a magazine, from the idea to the printing files.

In the first part of the workshop you will focus on understanding the structure, defying format, different sections and rhythm of your magazine.

Then you will design several covers and the typographic grid, an essential aim to combine texts, photos and illustrations into different layouts. And of course, you will discover how the typography matters.
