Hey you guys!
I´ve been enjoying your website for several times now and I´m shure, i will.
My question is: Is there a way of learning how to layout stuff, especially print-media without studying media-design? It´s nice to follow your tutorials and copy your ideas, but how can I do things like that on my own? I´m a student so I have loads of time…It´d be nice if you took a short time to answer my question.
Eh, and, I´m not native-english, as you might have already noticed… -

Hellas!
Well, after all I´m not studying media, I´m in class 13 at (on?) a highschool. I want to know how to layout stuff, because at the moment I´m working on our graduation-magazine. (Pupil in Germany use to sell a magazine, when they graduate. You know, containing funny quotations, pictures of teachers and so on… ) How can I make it look somehow fancy or “cool”? I do [b]not[/b] study anything at a university and do not want to. I only want to get some help. That´d be pretty cool.
