  • InDesign had so many useful tools to make a professional magazine. For example, using the grid to make sure my text was aligned and neat was very helpful. 
  •  I had my fonts match my feature article and table of contents so the magazine would flow nicely.

Finally, someone also said I should have a border added to my feature article so I added that as well and I liked how it turned out. ...
