Marq is a Superior Product for Publishers!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
As a publisher of sponsored content digital magazines, we started with LucidPress and continued with them until the re-branding to Marq. Along the way, we have never steered away from the platform as it consistently is the most flexible and affordable one to use for magazine layout and we just love it.
Pros
- Custom page sizes
- Drag and drop of images
- Sidebar visualization
Cons
- Automated page numbering would be amazing
- Scroll button should be darker to find it easier
- More template options
Other Software Used
Canva, Adobe PhotoShop, Pexels
Return on Investment
- I am able to save over $10K per issue by doing the design and layout myself.
- I am able to save at least 2-3 weeks per issue by doing the design and layout myself.
- I don't need to employ a team to compile each issue, I do it all myself.

Keeps us on brand
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We have LucidPress set up as a supplementary service for campus partners to access multiple designs as templates they can edit and output independently. This allows us to provide a branded cohesive set of assets for staff use on smaller independent projects that we do not have the capacity for. We also have approval capabilities to monitor projects in the system and provide support when needed.
Pros
- User management
- Easy to create and edit templates
- Able to install an approval layer to govern use
Cons
- Variety of assets is somewhat lacking
- Can be a bit of a learning curve for some users
- A bit pricey now that there are more alternatives
Most Important Features
