How to make your own Magazine

Hello Sparklies! Do you like the Spark magazine? Maybe you saw it and wanted to make your own magazine. Well, if you do, this post is for you! Together we will write, design, and publish a super cool magazine with Canva!


We will dive into writing articles, DIY design, and spreading the word out that YOU write a magazine! We will also dive into tech, printing, and all things fun!


We have a lot to cover! Read the whole post or skip to the part that interests you most!


Choosing a Magazine Topic

This is a really fun part! What interests you? You could do a magazine about any thing! Think baking, stories, and more! Expand the list below for some magazine ideas!


Magazine Topics

Baking

Crafts

Stories

Lifestyle

Sports

Animals

School

Science

Bible

Faith

Decor

Organization


Hopefully that list Sparked something! Maybe you want to have a poetry/stories magazine or a Crafts/DIY magazine! Choose one topic or a bunch of them!


Choosing a Magazine Name

Next, have some fun by choosing a cool name. It could be a simple one-work name or a fun combination of words. You could also cook up a new word!


Cool magazine name ideas:

Baketopia

Craftopia

Storiez

(Your name) Creates

Crafty Creations

Bloom lifestyle

The Creative Galaxy

Friendz


Next, if you want to, you can add a subheading to your name. In Spark, the title is Spark, then I added a "the" and then the sub-logo is Creative lifestyle. Here is how it was organized:


Expand the list for some ideas!


Name Subheadings

Creative Desserts

The DIY universe

Devotional magazine

The magazine


Make a Logo (Optional)

A Logo is not a must, but it is fun to make one! Draw one or make one on Canva! It doesn't have to be complicated, but it can be an icon for your magazine!


Logo Templates + Ideas:

Edit one of these for free or just get some inspiration!




Write Your Magazine

Next up, write your magazine! Choose topics that fall under your big topic. Have fun with this!



Design Your Magazine

Read for some art fun? You can design your magazine! Any way you want to do it is fine!


Here are some ideas:



Publish Your Magazine

Is your magazine all done? Print it - or email it! I Love using Heyzine to turn my magazines into flipbooks!


Getting the Word Out

First of all, Flyers are a great idea. You can give them to your friends and family at school, co-op, Church, and other places you have friends.


You can also make social media posts using Canva templates. Here are some TikTok announcement ideas:



Well! I hope that gets you started in creating your own magazine! If you so start one, send a link in the comments. I would love to subscribe!
