First of all, I am no good at what am I doing because I never had the chance to do it
but its okay because I've seen how it was made and published through the right way and the opposite of it
So here I am to tell what do I "think" about the yearly magazine
And of course they are many people better than me for sure and have written it anywhere somewhere in the internet
This is an example of a simple magazine
First step :
Building the editor members or a team
Leader
Choosing a leader would be appropriate,
and a vise leader would be necessary in some cases
a wise leader should be able to divide the assignments to the members
and be the last persons who go through the magazine and make any adjustment
Editors
Editors should be someone with a good grammar and plenty of vocab
a few editors may be needed if the condition requires
Designer(s)
A beautiful magazine amaze readers and doesn't make a book look hideous
a person or two need to design the magazine and make a few templates
templates really help reducing work time
A good designer should able to arrange anything written or any graphics provided
Writers
The more the better.
many writers will help reducing individual tasks
it can be a reporting writer or a creative writer
some reporting writers may ask for the report from some organizer's secretary
and make the report interesting
and the creative writers may ask for anyone to write something good and worth reading articles or anything
These writers should be good in writing and less in spelling and grammatical error
Some event or section in the book may need its own writers
Collectors
These collectors collect things (writing or any handwork from the communities)
Drawing, comic strips, poems, funny things should be collected
or as long as it is interesting
these collector guys are actually important
Photographer
Yeah it is so dull with yearly magazine without any pictures
Secretary
So you can do your magazine with some help in any form from the school/community/organization
money matters for printing and yeah you can shout for help from anyone actually
Treasurer
Make sure he or she don't run away with the money
and make sure he/she can make money
Step 2 : Planning
Plan what should you have in the magazine
Do discuss what do you need to have in your magazine with the peoples important
-a organization/community/school leaders or the right authorities
Do the tasks distribution
Go make a yearly magazine
Step 3 : Do your work
Do as what you've assign throughout the year
make sure to update the magazine after any event or anything
Step 4 : Editing
After a year or before the production date, edit your magazine
Make it the best magazine ever and something so important
or something that can make the magazine better may come at the eleven hour
so prepare for that
ask for conformation and go print it
Done
But wait
There are a few taboo in making a yearly magazine
If the magazine is meant to be for 2014,
NEVER EVER start making it at the third quarter of the year
ALWAYS start a team for the next magazine before the year it should
as example for a 2015 magazine you should have already make the team this year which is 2014
And if you are smoking and thinking about making a magazine,
NEVER think about making the year before's magazine.
When you are in 2014, never think about 2013 because it will be hard

| The simplest chart to show how it happen |
editor receive, edit and send it to designer and together they do the designing if the editor what it in their own way
writers may get pictures from the photographer and do the writings
collector collects what is needed and what is available
photographer give pictures to writer or designer and sometimes they do the design together
and chief editor will finalize things and leader sometimes the overwrite his finalization
anyway doing a yearly magazine should be ongoing throughout the year
so that at the end of the year it just some little editing required
and you'll get one by the end of the year or by the early of the year after
The end
Its not the proper guideline
do read and research more :)
