History
The history of magazine....
Long-long time ago there are no magazines. People usually advertise things on the magazine. But long time ago they advertise thing in the book. Like the book is a magazine. The first magazine was made by "Daniel Defoe" and the tittle was "The Review". Then followed by "Tatler" and "Spectator". But eventually the first magazine didn't last for a long time. The Spectator did last for long time though, it lasted for 3 years. The history of magazine is a very long and complicated journey, when one magazine is down comes another one and keeps replaying on like that. Even until now the cycle keeps playing, but of course there's a difference for each generation and the more and more comes down, the more and more comes up; the more they improve each piece of art, after all everyone wants everything to be better each time a change is made.

How it works?
The editors, journalists, photographers, advertising staff and the graphic designers will work together to complete the 6 stages to make a magazine. Stage 1, the editor and the journalist will choose ideas or topics to talk about. They usually choose a topic based on trends or current issues in society. Then, in stage 2 the editor sorts out the articles for each issue. Meanwhile, the journalist does some research about the facts and history in the internet, books, articles, and many more. In stage 3, the journalist interviews people involved by telephone or by visiting them at the location. The next stage is writing. All of the information will be combined together and created as an article. To make the magazine more interactive, pictures are added and that is the 5th stage. The 5th stage is for the photographers. They take pictures that are connected to the information. Last of all, editing, made as a layout then printed. For editing, the most important thing is the grammar and spelling. After all is finished, distribution is followed.
Where can people buy Magazine?

What makes a good magazine?
A good magazine must have a great layout, it have to be clean and b-e-a-u-tiful too. It must have a really amazing picture, Great article about this very topic and an image that sparks interest. They say that, "There are tons of magazines on shelves all over the place, and text does not catch people's eyes as they are walking past a magazine. The image has to be eye-catching, be it a beautiful landscape image for National Geographic, the latest Camero model for Car and Driver, or an attractive celebrity for whatever man's magazine."
