Design and launch your own magazine

Starting a new magazine can be a daunting task, whether you're a small group of designers or a large company such as Future, which publishes Computer Arts Projects. There are benefits - you have a clean slate, after all - but it's a good idea to make sure you're beginning in the right manner. After all, what you're creating is unlikely to be a one-off; it will probably be the first in a series and will set out the stall for the issues to follow.

In this feature (you'll need to plan some of those), we take a look at the launch of a new magazine by the London College of Fashion and give you some advice to think about for your own magazine projects. Called Pigeons & Peacocks, the magazine is designed to attract new students and, as you'll discover, a lot more besides.
