Magazine Design Services

Publications we design

• In-house company magazines. Performance news, employee profiles, activities and management messages for all staff.
• Newsletters. Shorter monthly or quarterly editions, in print or as a PDF.
• Customer, partner or member magazines. Publications for clients, distributors or association members.
• Handbooks and manuals. Procedures, work standards and training material that must be easy to find and read.
• Booklets and company books. Anniversary books, project books or product booklets.

Publications we have designed

PopOut designed the WIKA SHE Training Center handbook, a safety manual laid out to be easy to read, and a Pertamina booklet. For illustrated publications such as project profiles, see WIKA's Asmat project profile.

What we do

• Concept and cover. Name or masthead, cover style and the theme of each edition.
• Layout system. Page grid, typography, photo style and templates for recurring sections such as features, interviews, news briefs and adverts.
• Page layout. Text and photos from your editorial team laid out page by page, including tables, pull quotes and infographics.
• Final files. Print-ready files for the printer and a PDF to share by email, intranet or website.

For periodicals, the layout system is built once in the first edition, so later editions are faster to produce and stay consistent.

How much do magazine design and book layout cost?

Magazine design and book layout at PopOut start from Rp5,000,000 per project. The final cost depends on:

• The page count and format.
• A first edition with a new concept and templates, or a follow-up edition using existing templates.
• The number of infographics, illustrations and photos to be processed.
• One language, or Indonesian and English.
• How often it is published, since regular publications can be priced per edition.

Printing costs depend on the quantity, paper and binding, and are paid to the printer.

Frequently asked questions

Does PopOut write the content?

Text and photos are usually prepared by your editorial or communications team. We lay them out, select and retouch the photos you send, and build infographics from your data.

Can an in-house magazine be digital only?

Yes. Many companies now publish their in-house magazine as a PDF or an intranet page. The layout is adapted so it reads comfortably on laptops and phones.

How do you make an in-house magazine employees actually read?

Publish on schedule, keep the same sections in every edition, use plenty of photos and stories from employees and work sites, and keep articles short. Mix management news with stories from the field, so the magazine does not read like an official notice.

How is this different from annual report design?

An annual report is a formal report with a structure and deadline set by the regulator. For annual reports, see annual report design services; for company profiles, see company profile design services.
