Creative Review column, April 2013
In the April issue of Creative Review I look through some recent independent magazines, all of which have recently featured on magCulture. Here are links to the five I mention:
The Gourmand
Cereal
The Germans
OOMK
Works That Work
(the image above shows a page from beautiful seventies independent magazine The Compleat Imbiber, as reproduced in The Gourmand).
Creative Review February 2013
My latest Creative Review column looks at the new generation of magazine apps coming to the iPhone, apps sharing simple navigation and finite content. The column is only available online to subscribers, but projects mentioned include Marco Arment’s The Magazine and The Awl & V as in Victor (both by 29th Street Publishing). All recommended.
You can read interviews with 29th Street’s creative director Tim Moore (who also makes the Letter to Jane magazine app) on the SPD blog and Verge. Craig Mod’s thoughts on Sub-compact Publishing, referred to in my column, can be read here.
Overmatter 25.09.12
Steve from Stack is part of a panel including editors from independents Crack and The Beat, as well as Dylan Jones from a little mag called GQ. October 25, London.
David Hepworth recalls the pre-email noise of the magazine office.
In the October issue of Creative Review I take a look at the London2012 daily magazines produced by Haymarket.
Typographische Monatsblätter was a Swiss type journal that ran from the sixties through to the eighties. The issues are now online here (thanks Esa).
Correction: the magazine has a history stretching back to 1932; the website relates to a period to be covered by an upcoming book by Louise Paradis (thanks Paul).
Mag Covers 101 is another cover blog, running a seemingly random selection of covers old and new. Quantity rather than quality but worth a flick.
Anorak TV is go, via iTunes.
Apartamento
If you’re arriving at magCulture for the first time via today’s piece about Apartamento by Tim Jonze in The Guardian, you may be interested to see more of the magazine. Here’s a link to a post about their seventh issue, published a year ago.
It’s Nice That podcast
I was a guest on last week’s Studio Audience, It’s Nice That’s new weekly podcast. Hear Meirion Pritchard, art director of Wallpaper* and I discussing all sorts, including the future of print, with INT editor Rob Alderson.
CR x BBW
In June’s Creative Review, out today, I take a close up look at the Steve Jobs tribute issue of Bloomberg Businessweek, following it’s D&AD Yellow Pencil win. Produced over one night to replace the regular issue they’d just completed, the design and picture team recall the task.
CR column
The April issue of Creative Review has my latest column, reminding readers of the question ‘Why a magazine?’ and looking at Occupy Times, The Good Times and This Magazine Will Make You Smile. Out now.
CR column: mono.kultur interview
My latest column for Creative Review is an interview with Kai von Rabenau, the graphic designer-turned-photographer-turned-publisher behind one of my favourite current magazines, mono.kultur. Kai explains how the magazine came into being and reveals his ideal subjects for future editions.
Magazine review for Monocle24
This perfectly styled coffee set me up for my magazine review on a recent episode of Monocle24’s Review show. I discussed Head Full of Snakes, Menu, mono.kultur and Bloomberg Businessweek.
You can hear the show here (January 14); I’m on from about 40 mins in.
CR column, August 2011
My latest column for Creative Review appeared in their August issue while I was still away. In it I look at the naming of magazines including Monika, Wired, City, Little White Lies and Carlos. More about the August issue here.
