How to make your own magazine design.

Launch Adobe Express.

Launch Adobe Express on web or mobile to get started on your magazine design.

Kickstart your magazine design process with templates.

Browse our wide collection of standout magazine design templates and choose one to customize. To narrow down your results, search by style, industry, or aesthetic. If you already have a magazine design on hand and want to make a few tweaks, import your PDF to start editing in Adobe Express.

Add images, text, charts, and more.

Upload photos to your magazine design. Top it off with royalty-free Adobe Stock icons, backgrounds, or graphics. Add your text and experiment with curated font recommendations. If your magazine requires sharing insights, you can easily create a chart or graph within the same project. Don’t forget to include page numbers, the issue name, and a credits section to acknowledge each editorial contributor.

Brand your magazine design.

Stay #onbrand when you include your brand logo, color schemes, colors on your design. With a Premium plan, you can apply your branding all in one tap.

Collaborate with others or download.

Invite team members to view, edit, or leave comments on your magazine design. When you’re done, save it as a PDF to share it your way. Revisit your project anytime to make updates in the future.

Rearrange text on each magazine page with ease.

Feature articles, ads, a centerfold, or table of contents without the hassle of complicated text formatting. With the Text flow tool, it’s as easy as adjusting the size of one text box. Watch as the rest of your text flows seamlessly into the next box, no extra formatting needed. Divide large amounts of text into bite-sized bits or split them into several columns. Drag and drop them anywhere on each magazine page.

Level up your magazine pages with charts and graphs.

Along with formatted text, including visuals in each magazine page is crucial for providing readers further context. Create a cohesive visual theme by using photos, icons, logos, fonts, and other customizable elements to achieve an authentic feel. Add, edit, and place charts or graphs anywhere in your design to share unique insights in your newest magazine edition.

Frequently asked questions.

What is a standard magazine cover size?

Magazine covers vary in size but are generally around 8.5” by 11” give or take. Variations might be shorter, wider, or even half the size. Consider how you want your magazine to sit on a bookshelf, a coffee table, or in the hands of your readers. Also, confirm with your printer about what sizes they are able to print.

What should I include on my magazine cover?

Strong imagery, a bold header, the edition number and date, and some excerpts about what’s inside the magazine are great starting points. Add a price or barcode as well if you’d like.

How do I place my subject in front of the title?

Oftentimes, a cover will appear three-dimensional with the cover subject interacting with the title. Check out our Blur Background tool to learn how to separate your subject from the background for this technique. Or, use our Remove Background tool to place your subject on a new background entirely.

Can I create my own magazine cover template?

Any new or existing project can be turned into a shareable template. To turn your magazine cover into a template, click on the three-dot menu at the left of the Download button and follow the steps to turn your design into a template.

Can I get Adobe Express for free? If so, what’s included?
