Martin03,

 

VIPStephan has the right idea. You could make a 24 page magazine in Designer but Designer isn't made to do those kind of things and it would be tough. If you were to use Designer, you would be causing yourself a lot of unnecessary headaches. You should never use a photo app to do layout, it would be even worse than using Designer to make a magazine. Affinity Publisher, which hasn't been released yet, would be the kind of tool that you would use to do something like make a 24 page magazine. Right now your only choices are Adobe's Indesign or Quark Xpress. Xpress is more expensive but you can buy a perpetual licence whereas with Indesign you have to buy a subscription. If you have time, you can wait for Publisher to be released but it will take some time. Publisher is expected (I believe) to be released as a beta at the end of this year. So the actual release won't be until sometime in 2017 (I would suspect).  Whatever you choose, you should use a program that is made for layout. 

 

Best of luck,

Those two are the obvious commercial choices, but there are open source alternatives such as Scribus.
