•Feature templates contain; a headline, a subhead, a byline, body copy(text type), folio line, captions and credit line.

•Choose typefaces and create a hierarchy with your typography.
•Include all details like drop caps, lead ins, captions, pull quotes, photo credits, etc. The more you figure now, the less you have to do later.
•Print the grid so we can see. Post on your blog.
•Text type is the same throughout the magazine to hold everything together.
•Make at least 15 variations so that you'd have alternatives to choose from.
