I just graduated w/ an AS in digital media - the core curriculum was using Adobe platforms. The programs do everything but fly, which is good. The biggest thing I learned was to navigate the tools - the tool use - set up - and the print vernacular vs. web, mobile. Still learning....thanks for the video.
Thanks for your Tutorial. I've been given a commission to work on an organisation 's magazine and wanted to make sure I was doing it right. You've saved me a lot of needed time :)
This is best for anyone like myself that knows how to use everything but indesign I will design everything in the other programs no problem and bring it here to resize it
After reading the comment of others that have viewed this video, I see the goal you were shooting for but, again, I agree with Jessica C. InDesign is where both the Photoshop and Illustrator file comes together. It just seems like double work having to lay it out the photo editing/painting program than in the actual layout program.
I have been there, and have done it both ways, there is a tendency to stay in same/current workspace keeping type and raster to spped your layout process and not waste time back to ID.. at end , when happy, I would then simply copy text from psd, and paste into ID, mathcing the text blocks in psd, thensimple disengaging text inpsd...it's a preffernce, everyone designs slightly diff**
the video didn't really meat my expectation, and It's okay I just hope you will maybe consider sharing few tips on how to properly layout the text and if there's any rules to follow to properly layout Titles and text just like in the video. Thank you for the upload
Perhaps your title should indicate that this is using Photoshop. I was looking for an Indesign tutorial, and unfortunately this didn't meet my needs and I felt annoyed I spent my time watching.
It's faster to work directly in indesign and you'll get better text clarity. But for beginners learning what ID is, this is a decent option. Regardless, this is great video production for a how to video. Keep it up brother.
You should really retitle this tutorial as it's not actually for a print magazine, it's for a web e-magazine. And then you premade everything in photoshop and then just dragged it into InDesign.
I really enjoy your videos as I have mentioned before but this one wasn't your most helpful. As I was looking at it, I wondered why you did not just lay out the whole thing out in InDesign. There really wasn't a need to crop anything in photoshop because InDesign can do that and for the creating outlines, although I found something I didn't know Indesign could do, it just increases the files size exponentially. Please do not be offended by anything that I am saying. You a have me a subscriber for life bro, there is just a much quicker and efficient way at doing it.
I found your video helpful. I just wished you didn't jump back and forth from In Design to Photoshop. It nearly caused some confusion. I had to stop myself from doing the wrong thing after the random switch.
Hi thanks for the tutorial. Your artwork looks good, though i disagree with your workflow. Why would you go through jpeg-exporting in Photoshop when A) photoshopfiles import natively in InDesign, making your text editable in InDesign. And B) making it selectable in a browser/reader. Also it will leave you with a significantly smaller document.
Get GuideGuide! It should be standard with Photoshop. I have been using it for years and I still can't understand why Adobe don't include a feature for quickly putting in your rulers! guideguide.me/
Could you do an update on how to do a similar "flipbook" style like the flash player swf, but with the current settings. Flash player is no longer supported
Could you make a video on how to make a Magazine on Adobe indesign only. Don't use other software, and try to take a topic like mental health. I would really like to see if you make a video on magazine start to end on mental health. I really hope you see this comment and make a video
Greetings, I've a longtime subscriber and I'm working on my second comic book (zine) and found this very helpful to help me layout this second zine more professionally😀
Hey, just getting into Print, learning the basics and everything. For measurements, why do we need to compensate the Bleed in Photoshop (enlarge by 6mm all around) for the 3mm bleed in InDesign? Is PS splitting that 6mm height into 3 for the top and 3 for bottom?
*Notes On This Video* This tutorial is NOT a video on how to design a magazine from scratch in InDesign, it is a tutorial on how to layout a magazine in InDesign. Granted, it is probably a better idea for workflow purposes to add all text / logo content within InDesign, and all artwork in Photoshop, imported to InDesign. However, if the final outcome is fine once printed or like the example in this video the design is *for web* design the pages in Photoshop totally can work. The reason I laid the artwork out in InDesign is because there are no bleed options readily available in Photoshop. I do have various other InDesign tutorials that show how to design a print project totally in InDesign, but this video is only about laying out a design for print.
Background content ie the artwork needs to be made in Photoshop. For example, I had to cut out models, place them over images, change the lighting and contrast on images, all of the the things you do for digital artwork must be made in Photoshop as InDesign cannot do those tasks. If you have a magazine design that is only blocks and shapes with text the sure go ahead, but if you have artwork in your magazine you obviously will need to use Photoshop.
Yes, I know that Photoshop is used for image editing, I just found it strange you created the entire page including layout and copy in Photoshop when you can use indesign to do this. Each to their own I guess!
Yeah if it works it works right? InDesign is where you need to add the text content and logo files so that when the magazine is printed it retains quality. Everything else can be done in Photoshop and seeing as the artwork is made there to me it makes sense. I feel it is easier to setup a layout in Photoshop as well.
indesign is the industry standard for book making. Photo place holders page styles etc. The best part of indesign is the ability to change the fonts, set headings, paragraph indentations, tabs, page numbers, typeset style formatting is made for the entire document. Photoshop is photography, while illustrator is for vector art. The difference between a photo and vector art is you can make a big photo small no problem, up sized a photo it becomes distorted. Vector art often looks cartoonish, the great part about vector art is it looks the same at .25 of an inch same look on an outdoor billboard. hope it helped.
It just boggles me how you just don't benefit from the incredible layout features InDesign offers. Yes we must use Photoshop to edit and prepare images and even make some special effects in some type, and I do use it for that. but Photoshop is no match to InDesign when we talk about layout setting. Another thing, the text don't get as crisp if you set it Photoshop, compared to setting it in InDesign.
I have used Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop for Magazine design. on my channel. If you search around you will find suc features. This tutorial shows how to use Photoshop in conjunction with InDesign.
I wish you mention what buttons you are clicking while you click them because people are trying to follow the tutorial but don't know what you are clicking therefore cannot. TH-camr PixImperfect does it pretty well. You can take inspiration from how he mentions it. It makes me feel like I don't want to watch any other tutorials from the channel anymore, unfortunately.
Why did you decide to use Jpeg instead of keeping it in the native format or TIFF? I know PSDs are larger, but wouldn't it be worth it to preserve editability?
This is true, my tutorial here has a few errors as I rushed it and it was quite far back i my channels history. This is a valid point, but I think I did save 2 copies of the design though to refer back to and edit at a later stage
Love this video, its more easier to use photoshop or illust to design the magazines and its gud idea to bring the works to in design for prints. cheers.! you awesome!
kind of making a magazine for my computer project... if you don't mind me asking what font did you use for the capital ones? for example the "content" font. thanks a lot!
What I want exactly, is the editing of the newspaper layout on ad classification, the best way to assemble and insert the information into a classified layout (ads).
If I wanted to make separate pages, would I then save as single page continuous? Also what is the key difference between "facing " and "cover page"? -Love the tutorial by the way!
Yes single page continuous would be the best for that I think. Facing refers to a double page spread, and cover page is just as it says, a cover page. If your document has a cover page, you want to start it with that
Hi, So even for a A3 page size Magazine we have to use single A4 SIZE for a single page layout and when we print it then one image across the A3 PAGE combines to be one and show seperate across TWO A4 pages.
hi, i want to make a printed magazine, and so i followed the video but when i place the page as JPEG it gets pixelated and bad, how can i fix that? + thank you very much for this amazing video.
pixelated when printed or just on screen? The things you MUST check before printing are the following: 1. the JPG you import is 300ppi resolution 2. The image is CMYK colour mode 3. In Adobe InDesign, you have the screen display set to high quality. So go to *>view>display performance> high quality* Also when you export the PDF and it opens in Acrobat, there you can get a good idea of the quality by viewing it in 100% Lastly, always ask the printer to do a test copy of your design before printing out multiple copies. I hope this helps :)
Satori Graphics thank you a lot, this was very helpful, it was because of the view, and I'll check it once i save it as pdf like you said and showed. thank you very much!
haha no problem, the view setting has gotten me before and I don't know why Adobe InDesign has a default setting set to low quality viewing... Anyway happy to help :)
Kinda teaching people bad habits here.. link your originals PSD into indesign so you can edit in PS, and do all layout in indesign.. I know if it works it works etc, and for a web mag you can get away with it.. But you might just be teaching beginners some bad habits here that will mess with them down the line. Nice design work though
How to you create a design so that you change pages by clicking the "arrow" buttons like the magazine shown in the beginning and not peeling the pages?

Glad you enjoy the content, thanks man

The actual document and exporting is in InDesign, but yes you are right. I have other tutorials of print design projects strictly in InDesign however.
It's faster to work directly in indesign and you'll get better text clarity. But for beginners learning what ID is, this is a decent option. Regardless, this is great video production for a how to video. Keep it up brother.
Yep, was hoping for indesign work
Perhaps you should shut the fuck up Charlene :)
Pretty hard to criticise someone giving out free information

Thank you for the Playlist. At least I have lessons being learned in order. Focus guaranteed. Thankyou. Great work Sir. Michael.
Great tutorial, next time I'll make sure to do the layout in MS paint before importing to InDesign for the optimal workflow.
Lol
This is a great tutorial for doing things ass-backwards and frankly, wrong.
yep
yea, woulda liked tutorial on layout specifics, instead of "blank page to magically finished product"

Hello there thank you for sharing, why didn't you use the Save selection option just by using the rectangle marquee tool? I think it's better.
was hoping this would be more focused on setting up grids and columns. and keeping columns of text aligned across grids, etc.
5 seconds before you said thats a bit boring I was like dude thats sick
Thank you In the setup
Awesome design
Will start to learn it tomorrow, lets be patient pips! Godbless us haha
Amazing i never use in design before. will try it soon.
InDesign is used for print projects normally, it is great for things like magazines and brochures.
Satori Graphics we will use it for our project.....
Edit: finally found a tutorial thnxxxxxxx!!
Could you do an update on how to do a similar "flipbook" style like the flash player swf, but with the current settings. Flash player is no longer supported
Which option have you choosen soon after you on it
What about the bleed between the two pages? Do you have to make the length of your document wider to make up for the bleed and binding in the middle?
This was fantastic. Quick and clear and just at my level. Thank you!

Got it.
I think it's basically tutorial to compile magazine page in InDesign ... not doing magazine layout in InDesign ... :D
This tutorial is trash... you did the majority of the work in Photoshop.
But it is not the professional way of doing it.
Thanks a bunch
I would have loved more detail on how to actually upload and make the magazine live on a website but this was informative.
If you doing magazine work use affinity designer and publisher. So much better IMO.
Is that adobe?
Awesome bro thanks on this tutorial....Bless

Hello, you have some video about elaboration of newspaper and advertisement classifieds.
Not really no, can you expand on that, what would you like to see exactly?
What I want exactly, is the editing of the newspaper layout on ad classification, the best way to assemble and insert the information into a classified layout (ads).
I see, I will maybe look into that in the near future, thanks a lot
Cool, thank you for your attention.
What font did you use for this magazine?
No way. If you knew how to use InDesign you have would never doing this layout on Photoshop again.

The things you MUST check before printing are the following:

2. The image is CMYK colour mode
3. In Adobe InDesign, you have the screen display set to high quality. So go to
*>view>display performance> high quality*
Also when you export the PDF and it opens in Acrobat, there you can get a good idea of the quality by viewing it in 100%
Lastly, always ask the printer to do a test copy of your design before printing out multiple copies. I hope this helps :)
