Magazine design, layout & all the rest

A Facebook page for the Magazine Design blog… will you still Like us?

Yeah, not sure that header really worked. Please join us on Facebook – we’re going to post blog updates and other content on there, and we’d love to have as many “Likes” as we can get! We are of course happy to “Like” in return… you can find the Facebook page here. It’s looking a little sparse right now, but it’s going to fill out in no time. In a similar manner to my waistline, no doubt.

Centro Y Sur magazine launches on Texterity, we’re very happy with how it looks (because we made it)

It’s been way too long since I posted anything on here (that sounds familiar), but things have just been getting crazier and busier and unfortunately the blog has fallen by the wayside. One of the many projects I’ve been involved with – and continue to be involved with – is Centro Y Sur magazine. A digital publication from the mind of Jason Z. Guest, we’re currently in our final week of production of issue 4. I thought I’d share a pieces form the last few issues and encourage you to go read and subscribe…! Seriously, this isn’t just a shameless plug, we’re really interested in hearing your feedback on the magazine’s usability, especially when it comes to navigation and ease of use. We spent FOREVER working on the internal nav for this – and then there’s Texterity’s own nav tools which come as standard in this particular hosting model. So I’m not going to say too much more – you can read the whole issue (and back issues) here. Some more pages from issue 4 after the jump.

WAY too late to buy this, but take a look anyway (and hover over this site day and night in case anything else goes on sale for four minutes!).

Awesome free image source

Quick note: I came across this royalty free image source recently, well worth bookmarking and contributing to: www.morguefile.com

More and more recently, I’ve begun to realize how important getting my desk ‘right’ before I start working really is. And I’ve become addicted to researching other people’s work-spaces, particularly Mac users and designers/creatives. This blog is probably the most addictive of the lot, and beautiful in its simplicity.

Be ready to spend all day there.

There’s a new issue of GivingCity Austin out…

magazinedesign — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 05:13:30 +0000

It’s available online free, and is worth every non-penny. Read the whole issue here, and if you really like what you see, contact them about buying an ad! Magazine content doesn’t grow on trees you know!

Love this illustration/infographic. I NEED to find an excuse to do something like this in the next magazine I can get my grubby mitts on! Here’s the link to the original post on Pink Tentacle.

INCREDIBLE.
