We create templates and layouts for trade magazines, combining conscious typographic decisions with clear information architecture. Over twenty completed market titles.
We have been designing magazine templates for over twenty years. We combine typographic knowledge with editorial experience and an understanding of printing processes. For each title, we create a cohesive visual system, from the column grid and typeface selection to ready page templates in Adobe InDesign.
A magazine template is much more than a graphic layout. It is a visual system that organizes content, builds information hierarchy, and shapes the reader's experience. We design layouts that combine aesthetics with usability: readable, consistent, and ready for the daily work of the editorial office. Every element of the design serves the readability and comfort of consuming the content.
Our experience includes designing both new titles from scratch and redesigning existing publications. We have worked with trade, corporate, academic, and lifestyle magazines, each time tailoring our approach to the specific subject matter, target audience, and publishing cycle.
We create proprietary ExtendScript and UXP scripts that automate repetitive tasks in InDesign: text formatting, page numbering, and generating layout variants. As a result, the typesetting of subsequent issues is faster, and the template maintains 100% consistency regardless of who uses it.
We start every project with a conscious selection of typefaces and the construction of a typographic grid. We define the heading hierarchy, leading, rhythm of white space, and column proportions, all so the reader can focus on the content rather than fighting with the layout. We pay attention to the details that determine reading comfort.
The process begins with analysis: we get to know the editorial profile of the title, its audience, and the market context. Based on this, we define the typographic grid, which will become the foundation of the entire layout. We select typefaces, establish the hierarchy of headings, column proportions, margin system, and the rhythm of white space.
Next, we develop page templates: cover, table of contents, article pages, interviews, columns, infographics, regular sections, and advertisements. Each template is designed to give the editorial team flexibility while maintaining the visual consistency of the issue.
Designing a template is just the beginning. We accompany many of our clients for years, typesetting subsequent issues of magazines based on the designed system. Thanks to our familiarity with the title and developed editorial processes, typesetting runs smoothly, and each issue maintains high visual quality.
As part of our ongoing collaboration, we also offer regular layout modifications: adding new page types, updating templates, or adapting the template to the changing needs of the editorial office.
Our clients are publishing houses, editorial offices, companies, and institutions that need a professional magazine as a tool for communication with a specific target audience. We work both with large media houses, such as Polska Press Grupa or Ringier Axel Springer, and with smaller publishers for whom a trade magazine is part of their marketing strategy.
