As an experienced magazine editor, I am looking for tools to help me teach college students how to create and produce a magazine. This course provides an excellent introduction to terms and practices of magazine production while also providing an inspiring vision of the possibilities magazines represent. This video gives me ideas for sessions with students. It is also completely accessible for students to watch themselves.

Course details
The best way to get started in magazine design is to study the greats: magazines like Rolling Stone, Time, and National Geographic. Spend an hour with designer exploring what goes into a successful magazine design. He pages through the digital versions of several popular magazines and talks about what's going on, inside and out. Learn about construction, and how elements like the cover, masthead, lead spreads, and even the contributors page are designed. Discover the role of typography, imagery, and the grid, and find out how to sustain a look from beginning to end. John also poses questions to help you find your magazine's "voice" and make design decisions that will help align the final product with the contents inside.
