Digital Magazine

Hi everyone!

This is my digital magazine created in Adobe InDesign. I used my own pictures, added some animation, created a sign up form, embedded a small video, which I created and added some music to it. After creating the magazine, I published it online, using the private version. For anyone that whishes to create a digital magazine for everyone to see, there is the public version of publishing. 

Make a new document

The Start screen appears when there are no documents open in InDesign. It lists your recent files (if available), presets, and more. 

• Choose File > New > Document. In the New Document dialog box, start by choosing a preset. For example, the Print category shows various sizes and document options you can set for a new document. The New Document dialog box is where you can access free and paid Adobe Stock templates, which are a great starting point for your designs.

The InDesign workspace

• Document window (in the middle) displays the file you’re currently working on. Multiple open documents appear as tabs in the Document window.

• Menu bar (at the very top) shows the File, Edit, and other menus that give you access to a variety of commands, adjustments, settings, and panels.

• Toolbox (on the left) contains tools for creating and editing artwork. Similar tools are grouped together. You can access them by clicking and holding a tool in the toolbox.

• Panels (on the right) include Properties, Pages, and CC Libraries that contain a variety of controls for working with documents. You can find a full list of panels under the Window menu.

Zoom and pan

• The Zoom tool, located in the toolbox, can be used to show you more detail of a document. To change from Zoom In to Zoom Out, press Alt (Windows) or Option (macOS).

• The Hand tool, also located in the toolbox, allows you to pan across a document.

• The view menu below the document can be used to change the view of a document.

Save your projects

• Choose File > Save or File > Save As.

• Save in InDesign (INDD) format to retain layers, type, and other editable InDesign content. It’s best to save your document in InDesign format while you’re working on it.

• Choose File > Save As and choose IDML to save your project as a file that is backwards-compatible with previous versions of Adobe InDesign starting with CS4.
