Editorial design is probably the specialty with the most graphic-design content. Laying out and composing a publication forces you to pay attention to everything: photography, typography, color, rhythm. It is an exciting art full of complex concepts that Pablo Abad makes easy.
Surely you are a collector and you keep countless images, photos, and illustrations that you like on your computer or on your blog...influences, or strange things that only you understand. How would you like to use all of that to make a magazine like a professional? It is the perfect excuse to break into the publishing world and prepare your first project for your portfolio. With Pablo, learn how an editorial project is planned from beginning to the end, from the conceptualization to the final art.

PlusI love the course, I got hire to create a magazine and I did not know where to start, this course helped me to have a better idea of how to start and what tools I can use

The course shows the entire layout process in detail, which is appreciated. In general it touches on quite a few topics and provides good reference sources. It's very good for someone who wants to get into graphic design.
Regarding the assembly of the course by Domestika, it is noted that not as much budget has been allocated as in other courses. The sound could be improved a lot (removing the throat clearing especially) and the first part of the report does not match the audio with the video.

Recommended to start in the world of graphic design. The author explains where he finds his influences and where to find references from other projects.
It helps to understand the basic (and universal) concepts by following a series of steps to create a magazine.
Thank you very much Pablo!
