Magazine: your work as an issue

How it is laid out

Magazine opens with a masthead: thick rules, your location and handle, an issue number (how many projects you have) and your name set as big as the screen allows. "Open to work" and your resume sit just under it.

Then the cover story: the first project you mark as large, or simply your first project, with its screenshot, a big headline, the description as a standfirst, its details, status and revenue, and a byline with your name.

In this issue lists every other project as a numbered story in ruled columns, each with a kicker (its first tag), a headline, a short dek, its status and revenue. Projects marked large also get their screenshot. The back page is a letter from the maker: your photo and your bio with a drop cap, your links, then your monthly revenue as a pull quote and the subscribe box.

Who it suits

Writers, designers and makers with a point of view: anyone whose page should feel edited rather than listed. It reads best with a few strong projects and a bio worth reading, and it looks its most like print with the serif font on a light palette such as Newsprint or Polaroid.

On a phone the columns fold into one and the masthead scales down, so the cover still lands first.

Part of Pro

Magazine is included in Pro at $20 a year, with Bento, Spotlight, Terminal, Studio and Timeline. See every template and the themes and palettes, or Spotlight, which features one project like a launch page.

Pages it suits

• Designers: your best case study as the cover story, the rest as numbered stories.
• YouTubers: the product you want clicked as the cover, everything else you make below.
• Etsy and Gumroad sellers: the shop as the cover story, with verified Gumroad sales where you sell there.

These are examples, not rules: every template shows the same content, so try a few in the editor's live preview before you pick.
