INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don’t twist your hoodie or try to wring the water out. Instead, press down on the hoodie with 2 hands to get rid of the extra soap and water. Press every part of the hoodie inside and out to ensure you don’t miss any soap or water. Put the hoodie on a towel to do this, as you don’t want that extra water getting everywhere. Make sure the towel is on a flat surface. Use a different towel than the one you used in the previous step. Lay the hoodie flat with its sleeves at its side and roll up the towel from the bottom with the hoodie on top of it. Then, stand over your sink or bathtub and press down on the towel to squeeze out any more excess water. You will need a towel that is bigger than the hoodie itself. This is the third different towel you’ll need to use to dry the hoodie. Place the towel on the floor or on your bathroom counter and put the hoodie on it. Let the hoodie sit overnight before wearing it again. The reason you don’t use a dryer is because it can shrink cotton clothes. A dryer can also cause the fabric to lose its color over time.

SUMMARY: Press the hoodie gently to remove excess soap and water. Roll up the hoodie in a dry towel to speed up the drying process. Lay the hoodie on a separate towel to air-dry it.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A new playlist will appear in the left navigation menu. When you create the playlist, the name will automatically be highlighted, allowing you to enter any name you want. The beauty of Spotify playlists is that you can add any song from the Spotify library, and then share those playlists with your friends. Use the Spotify search to find any song, artist, album that you can think. The music must be available on Spotify in order for you to add it. Click and drag the files that you want onto your playlist’s icon. Any new songs you add will be placed at the bottom of the playlist. You can click and drag songs to move them around the playlist and create the order that you want. With Spotify you can share your playlist with anyone and they can listen to it with their Spotify program. To share your playlist, right-click on it and select Share. You will be able to share with Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter.

SUMMARY: Click File and select “New Playlist”. Name your playlist. Add music to your new playlist. Organize your playlist. Share your playlist.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: What is the primary topic of your magazine? Keep in mind that most magazines are niche publications that target a highly-specific audience (for instance, people who are interested in quilting or brides looking for wedding ideas).  Ask yourself: Will this be a standalone publication or one in a series? If it’s part of a series, what’s your larger theme? Try to draw the title of your magazine out of this overarching theme. Note that most magazines have one- or two-word titles (such as TIME, National Geographic, Seventeen, Rolling Stone, and Forbes). Not only can a short title sum up your theme nicely, it's also easier to deal with from a design standpoint. What’s the focus of this one publication? How can you use it to tie all your content together? (It’s not for nothing that a single publication of a magazine is called an “issue.”) A good example of themed issues are the prom editions of teen magazines, or the Swimsuit Issue of Sports Illustrated. All of the content inside that issue ties back to the primary focus.  What’s the title of this issue? If necessary, what’s the title of the entire series? Annual examples of titling an issue include the Swimsuit Issue of Sports Illustrated, the Hollywood Issue of Vanity Fair, and the September Issue of Vogue. The method you choose for putting your magazine together can determine how you gather and incorporate content. Here are some points to consider:  Though the glossy, software-enhanced look is a magazine standard, making one without the use of computers can give your magazine an art-house feel. However, this will require lots of extra time and talent and is best suited for people who have already done similar projects. InDesign is the standard (though expensive) designer tool for digitally-designed magazines. The type is often written out and edited in InCopy, which meshes with InDesign. Alternately, some publications use Quark. If these options aren’t in your price range, Office Publisher might be an effective alternative. When do you plan to have the magazine finished? Ask yourself if you're setting reasonable expectations, and if you can feasibly have the magazine finished and in the hands of your readers by the deadline. A deadline is more important if you're dealing with topical issues (such as news or humor), or if you're building the issue around an annual event (such as fall fashion).

SUMMARY: Create a theme or focus. Decide how you will assemble your magazine. Establish a deadline.
