I have recently downloaded Adobe InDesign, a software application used to create works such as posters, flyers, brochures, magazines, newspapers, presentations, books and ebooks. This application makes the process of creating a magazine much more facilitating and makes it look more aesthetically pleasing, the way I want mine to look like. Through the resources provided, I have found several examples of layouts in which I will use to create the magazine.
These photos are a few snippets of what the initial design for the first few pages of some layouts look like:

Two-Page Spread (With Ad) Outline
This is the planned layout for my two-page spread (with the advertisement), which will be a step-by-step original content article.
I plan on having the article on either an interview with a calligraphist or an article based on newer methods of writing and calligraphy, or techniques that derived from it, like typography.
And as mentioned before, I wanted to incorporate an advertisement of the same brand shown in the cover photo.
These are some of the examples I take inspiration and reference from:
Two-Page Spread (without Ad) Outline
This is the planned layout for my two-page spread (without the advertisement), which will be a step-by-step original content article.
The article will most likely be steps for beginners/amateurs who would like to learn about how to correctly use the tools to write calligraphy.
As written and drawn in the outline, I will have a title at the top, a main image of the product of the demonstration, information about it, materials to use, and images of each step with descriptions below.
Some small details to add about the two-page spread are the page numbers and magazine title at the bottom of each page. This is a small yet important detail incorporated into all well-done magazines, so I must not forget to add it.
These are some of the examples from which I got inspiration to do the step-by-step article:
