Searching for magazine inspirations

[Toke]

Im creating a small magazine with some friends. And Im wondering if you know any pages with good tips&trix and maybe some finished page-examples. We have acess to Quark Xpress.

Thank you

As for inspirations, I think you'll just have to go to the nearest shop or something and buy some or steal em or somethin :P

As for technical questions, if you've got specific ones I'll be glad to answer them I use Quark daily (unfortunately) and am pretty well versed in it. I won't however teach you how to start it from scratch, that's what the manual is for. Also, some of the best tutorials you'll ever get are from http://lynda.com/. They cost $$ but they are well worth every penny.

best advice...use indesign..lol. Nah quark is cool. Not sure what your skill level is. But I would say study layout and color theory (before attempting anything in quark). To be a successful magazine you really have to know how folks respond to white space, kerning, typography and colors. I was involved with a magazine project that failed miserably because the guy in charge chose to ignore recommendations and go against the grain.
