browse. When you are done click next and the upload starts.<br />

<strong>Upload</strong> any PDF file. The file size is restricted to 600 MB and the MIME type has<br />

to be “application/pdf”. This are all restrictions that have to be considered. For a<br />

good look of your ePaper, keep an eye on the following tips. Design the layout of<br />

your magazine with single or double pages (first and last page should still be single<br />

pages). Don’t mix formats, for example using 3 pages or special formats. Keep the<br />

layout in one format otherwise your pages will be contorted. If this happens all you<br />

can do is improve your pdf file and upload it again.


Step 2: <strong>Upload</strong><br />

Step 4: Title<br />

4Magazine Titel: Your magazine headlin


e<br />

Now it‘s time to give your magazine a title. Think of what describes<br />

your magazine best and narrow it down to a few words.<br />

The title for a magazine is as important as the cover. The title attracts or scares<br />

readers off the same way an attractive or unattractive cover does. A short pregnant<br />

title attracts readers and helps your magazine to be read more often. A long<br />

complicated title scares readers off.
