1 How is a fashion magazine made?
The stories and articles in a fashion magazine are written by journalists.
The photos are taken by professional photographers and sometimes photos are bought on the internet.
The cartoons and pictures are drawn by the magazine's illustrators.
Each article is checked by the editor and then the pages are designed by a graphic designer.
When the magazine staff are happy with all of the stories and images, a PDF of the magazine is sent to the printers.
If the magazine has a website, some of the stories are uploaded to the internet.
A few weeks later, the magazine appears in the shops and it is bought and read by you!
