Magazine design from just £10 a page? What's the reality
Dean Cook • 8 July 2020
Dreaming of a professional-looking magazine without breaking the bank? We hear you! But hold on, before you chase those 'super cheap' design deals, let's talk true costs and hidden catches.
Magazine design for £10 a page is certainly possible, yes, but keep in mind:
- That's for simple, pre-formatted pages with your ready-made content. Fancy design, custom illustrations, and ad management? Expect extra TLC (and a slightly bigger price tag).
- Beware of low rates tempting you with limited experience. Quality design, communication, and service matter! Don't fall for a false economy that ends in headaches and subpar results.
Think of us as your magazine fairy godmothers, guiding you through the glitter and grit of production. We:
- Don't offer 'magical mystery prices.' We chat, assess your needs, and quote you fairly. Every magazine is unique, so you deserve personalised attention (and pricing).
- Have eagle eyes for technical hiccups. No wonky fonts, blurry images, flawed PDF files or printing disasters on our watch! We meticulously check everything, protecting you and your advertisers.
- Free ad placement? Sounds fishy, right? We don't just dump ads on a page. We ensure they're technically perfect, saving you time and potential revenue headaches.
Ready to skip the guesswork and get a stunning magazine you can proudly own?
- Drop us a line. We'll happily chat about your vision and find the perfect price point.
- Got another quote? Bring it on! We're confident we can match or beat it (and the quality!) because...
- We're passionate about bringing your magazine dreams to life without the drama.

A hybrid magazine is a publication that is designed and produced once so it can be published digitally and in print, with interactive elements available in both formats. This approach can save time rather than creating two separate products — one geared specifically for digital and the other for print, such as working to different sizes or pagination lengths. Interactive features allow a more engaging and immersive experience for the reader regardless of whether they read the publication online or in print. What are the key features of hybrid magazines 1. Interactive Elements: QR Codes: Scan these codes to access exclusive online content, videos, podcasts, and interactive games. Augmented Reality (AR): Use a smartphone to overlay digital content, like 3D models or animations, onto the printed page. 2. Digital Extensions: Online Platforms: Access additional content, such as web-only articles, updated-driven content, podcasts, webinars or forums. Social Media Integration: Connect with the magazine's community and other readers through social media channels. Benefits of hybrid magazines Enhanced Reader Experience: Interactive elements and digital extensions make reading more engaging and memorable. Increased Reader Engagement: Hybrid magazines encourage readers to participate and share content actively. Innovative Advertising Opportunities: Brands can leverage the unique format to create innovative and interactive ad campaigns.
