Decide how to order your content. How you organize your content inside the magazine dictates how the reader will flip through it. Here are some basic guidelines:
Usually the table of contents goes first. If your magazine has many ads, there can be several pages of them before the table of contents.
A colophon follows the table of contents. The colophon should list the title, the volume and issue of the magazine (both will be 1 if this is the first), the place of publication, and the personnel who worked on it (such as editors, writers and photographers).
Order your articles so that the main piece is somewhere in the middle, or even toward the back.
Consider doing a whimsical "back page". Many magazines, such as TIME or Vanity Fair use the last page of the magazine for fun, skimmable content, such as an engaging infographic or a silly interview.
