Teacher's Manual
Our Teachers Manual provides world college professors with in-depth, step-by-step, information on how to teach "Magazine Company Business & Finance" to college students throughout the world! In the 1960s, US college journalism departments offered their students a magazine journalism course that was thought of as a core journalism department course. And this led to graduates creating magazine companies and securing media industry jobs.
Magazine Design Basics
Magazine Design Basics is a comprehensive book that contains information on how to design a magazine. Really good magazine designers use 80-120 design techniques to design their magazine pages with. Magazine Design Basics covers layout grids, magazine cover basics, and over 35 graphic design techniques. And by the way - this is a beautiful book.
