Here are two magazines created by design graduates but doing very different things with their identical (170 x 240mm) physical format.
Posted: 8, Aortica, Pure
Taking a leaf from Andrew’s recently posted catch up, here’s a quick look at three of the many magazines that have crossed my desk over the past few weeks. They have little in common except their heft – each has over 150 pages.
Posted: Popshot, Varoom! The Word, Anorak
The post at magCulture this week has included several goodies. First up, the third issue of poetry/illustration magazine Popshot, a simple combination of new poetry and accompanying commissioned art. A great idea nicely executed.
Posted: Fire & Knives #3
The latest issue of food magazine Fire & Knives includes this lovely parody of an editorial food shoot.
Posted: File #3
The latest issue of File is out now. Its now familiar newsprint inside card cover format still feels great, making the most of the light paper while the card potects it from damage, all the more important now it packs 96 pages.
Posted: 1948
1948 is created by the team behind ‘Sup magazine, and is published to promote the Nike store of the same name in Shoreditch, London. Issue 2 has been out for a while, but deserves this brief mention as it ticks all the magazine-y boxes, with a textured cover stock, a section printed on green paper (below), and today’s essential – matt uncoated papers that soak up the ink and give the magazine that distinctive smell.

There are so many goodies turning up in the post these days that I’m starting a new strand here on magCulture to keep up. ‘Posted’ will sit somewhere between the longer reviews and the regular ‘Overmatter’ round-ups.
