Jumpstart Your Student Publication With Issuu
Apr 14th, 2017 by Issuu Ops
Perhaps you’ve gotten inspired by the myriad, impressive student publications already on issuu. Maybe you finally know how to tell your story thanks to our student press guide. Or, you just signed up for the student and educators plan and are really ready to take your student publication to the next level. No matter what your situation, it’s time to create.
To help jumpstart your creation process, we’ve created templates that will give you the perfect starting place. Copy and paste your excellent copy and photos into one of these templates, then customize it to make the publication all your own. Starting this way removes the daunting feeling of a blank page, and hopefully will get you hitting “publish” much sooner.
Free Magazine Template for Your News and Features
This template is for your news magazine — the next New Yorker or Time. Fill it with small bits about local news, in-depth profiles or anything else that aligns with your vision. The design of this template maximizes space so you can get your word count in, and features a simplified layout so your readers can take in the content without any distractions. It includes space for your shorts, features, photo spreads and ads.

Free Magazine Template for the Arts
Take your magazine in a different direction and showcase creative writing, photography or design with our arts magazine template. A little more aesthetically pleasing than our news magazine template, this one was made to let your creative work shine. It includes space for the written word, photography and art.
